You also need the status to include the delay (status+1d). I have a test that runs daily that I do this with.
$xymon $xymsrv \"status+$delay $machine.$xymontest $color $date $summary\n$data\n$msg\""?

I tried that but it seems to be sending at different times once a day.
If my ext runs at 5am , I would like it to send the alert at 5am.

I have an ext script that runs once every 24 hours.
How can I configure the alerts to only send an email once a day if the status is x color.
Thanks
