      Please respond to hobbit                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                          

You have the TIME filter backwards, it needs to be W:0000:0800,W:1700:2400,06:0000:2400, the way you have it it will only pass alerts on weekdays from 8:00 to 5:00.

Thanks, Larry Barber

Here is what I have:

HOST=%.*\.(na|internal)\.pg\.com SERVICE=conn TIME=W:0800:1700 DURATION>10 SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/skytel 800####### FORMAT=sms

Here's what happens. I get paged during the middle of the day when a system goes down.

If I run the rule through the "test" mode, then it says it fails on the duration rule. So if I remove the duration rule and test again, then it says it fails on the time rule.

But, as I said, I'm getting pages in the middle of the day (when we're doing maintenance).

Thoughts? Am I writing this rule correctly?
