Thanks Larry,

I've managed to find time to test this since sending my email to the list and you're right. I didn't expect it to work with a client external test but it does.

I guess Xymon is even smarter than I thought.

Regards,

Neil.

You could use DOWNTIME to mask any alerts that the script generates during the off hours.

Thanks, Larry Barber

We have a new external script that we only want to run every 30 minutes between 08:20 and 22:20.

I know I can add a timer value in BBWin.cfg to only run every 30 minutes but I can't seem to find a way to specify that it only runs between 08:20 and 22:20

Does anyone know if there is a way to do this on the Xymon server side as I suspect there is no way to do it on the client side (other than scheduling the script through windows which I want to avoid if possible).
