Henrik,

Thought it might be something like that, as a temporary fix I've created three different versions of the hobbit-alerts.cfg file and set cronjob's to move them into place as and when they are required.

If we've got a beta due I'll wait for that, try it on my dev platform first if it's okay for a day I'll move it to the test (which is actually the redundant BB server), then to live, probably early week after the beta.

Mike

Henrik,

Thanks for the reply, the alert is being picked up on the following line

MAIL=support SERVICE=aq COLOR=RED FORMAT=SMS DURATION>5 REPEAT=1h 

TIME=W:0900:1700 STOP

Which is line 130 of the hobbit-alert.cfg file. The thing is that it just alerted me at 18:10, which is outside of the TIME setting for this entry. Any ideas as to what to try next? Here's the notifications log entries for that alert

Mon May 29 18:11:05 2006 server.aq (10.8.2.1) systems 1148922665 0 Mon

May 29 18:11:05 2006 server.aq (10.8.2.1) support 1148922665 0

You mentioned you were running the 4.2pre version, which is a rather early snapshot of the 4.2 release. I do believe this has been fixed in the current code; what happens is that basically the alert code would ignore the general criteria like TIME when used together with a MAIL setting.

So - I'd like you to try it out with the current snapshot (which will be a beta-release in a day or two).

Regards, Henrik
