I wondered if there is a way to schedule, for example, that a monitor will go disable last Sunday in every month. My DB that is going down for cold backup and sometimes I forget to schedule the monitor disable so I have the support waking me up in the middle of the night :=) Thanks, Alon

would it possible to schedule a disable using the command-line ?

Something like

$BB $BBDISP "disable $MACHINE.$TEST $DURATION $START_OF_DISABLE"

There's a generic "schedule" command in the Hobbit protocol to do that. You can put a "schedule TIMESTAMP" in front of any command and Hobbit will execute that command at the requested time. TIMESTAMP is a Unix epoch time (seconds since Jan 1 1970). So your command would be:

STARTTIME=date +%s --date="$START_OF_DISABLE" $BB $BBDISP "schedule $STARTTIME disable $MACHINE.$TEST $DURATION"

That is in fact how the scheduled enable/disable works when you use it via the Web GUI.
