I’ve dug through the documentation and searched the archives, but I’m still having an issue with the downtime option.
I’ve only got one device that needs it and I added it as such :
ip name #http://ip DOWNTIME=*:*:0230:0630:Scheduled_Downtime
The info page displays it properly as :
Planned downtime: All days:*:0230:0630:Scheduled_Downtime
Yet when I have this in the bb-hosts file, bbtest stops running sometime in the night. Last night it was midnight. A couple of nights before it was 2am.
Checking the history.log I see it says “Cannot open status historyfile ‘/home/hobbit/data/hist/machine.test for several machines, but not all of them.
The hobbitd.log shows that I had the DOWNTIME configuration set slightly wrong previously, however it is clean since I removed the line and then updated it with the line you see above (something I gleaned from the archives about needing 2 *s).
It’s a Fedora Core 6 box running the latest and greatest of everything. Hobbit is all it does, it’s got mrtg and bb-xsnmp running as well.
Does anyone have any pointers on where to go from here ?

Not sure what the man pages say it should be but this is what we have on hosts for example DOWNTIME=*:0830:0900
Not sure why your putting an extra *: on there as I thought this was meant to apply to the day ? Also I didnt know you could put a description there ? ou may be able to but I've never bothered so I cant comment

Thanks for the tip Allan, I'll give it a shot. Yours is the only response I've received, so I wonder if anyone's actually gotten it to work the way the man pages indicate it should.

Sorry, Bill. I meant to respond, but it got lost...
This is what I use, only one token before the times:
DOWNTIME=0:0800:1000,*:2210:2245

Using the *:0230:0630 format worked fine this morning for me, we'll see if it holds. Thanks for the tips guys.
