How do you define days with "TIME" in the hobbit-alerts.cfg?
Hi all,
I'm trying to setup my pager to alert me Monday - Friday, 7:00 - 24:00. I understand how to set the hours, but how do you set the days? All the examples I have seen with days in them, only list one day or *. To do multiple days, do you use "," between the days? Can you use a range character? I have also seen Wednesday listed as W or 3 in the examples, will either work?
TIME=1,2,3,4,5:700:2400 <---is that right?
Thanks, James
"W" means week days, not just Wednesday so you could just use that. Otherwise to specify weekdays you could say 12345:... (note no commas).
Thanks, Larry Barber

Hi James,
You probably want to look at the bb-hosts(5) man page (specifically
the NKTIME section).
day-of-week: W means Mon-Fri ("weekdays"), * means all days, 0 .. 6 = Sunday .. Saturday. Listing multiple days
is possible, e.g. "60" is valid meaning "Saturday and Sunday".
ie. you're probably after a specification such as:
TIME=W:0700:0000
Hope that helps,
regards,
Richard

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
Another question. Is it possible to do multiple TIME statements in one alert? I'd like to get the alert 7-12 m-f and all day sat and sun. Know if that's possible?

Per a paragraph or two below what I quoted, there's this, which
answers your question:
If necessary, multiple periods can be specified. E.g. to monitor a site 24x7, except between noon and
1 pm, use NKTIME=*:0000:1159,*:1300:2359The interval between starttime and endtime maycross midnight, e.g. *:2330:0200 would be valid and have the
same effect as *:2330:2400,*:0000:0200.
So, probably:
TIME=W:0700:2400,06:0000:2400
It might be a nice tweak to have 'E' for weekend, or something along
those lines, in a future release.
