I have some hosts that were set to repeatedly page every 20 minutes for 2 hours. Of course, when an entire team got into a meeting and they all got the same page every 20 minutes for an hour, I was told to turn that "feature" off.

But, after removing the REPEAT keyword in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file I got the pages this morning at 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM. The time restriction keywords worked perfectly, but I don't see where I'm getting the repeats from. I also stopped and restarted hobbitd after editing the file.

Here are the relevant lines from my hobbit-alerts.cfg: HOST=%(cnpe|cnpf|cnpg|cnph).pri.xxx.net|hnae.ro.xxx.net SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/scripts/hobbit-mailpage $UNIX_PAGERMAIL SERVICE=%(cpu|disk|errpt|msgs|procs|ssh|telnet|vmio) COLOR=red TIME=12345:0800:1700 SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/scripts/hobbit-mailpage $MIDDLEWARE_PAGERMAIL SERVICE=%(cpu|disk|errpt|msgs|procs|ssh|telnet|vmio) COLOR=red TIME=12345:0800:1700
