Hi all,

For anyone that is interested ... I've written a patch for the Acknowledge Alert page so that you can select a duration in mins, hours or days (for those of us who have long term problems!). Thought I'd share it with y'all.

Apply to v4.3.3 web/acknowledge.c:

  char *period;

char *periodall = NULL; 76c82 < char *acknum = NULL, *validity = NULL, *ackmsg = NULL;

          char *acknum = NULL, *validity = NULL, *ackmsg = NULL,

*period = NULL; 86a93,95

          else if (strcasecmp(cwalk->name, "PERIOD_all") == 0) {
                  if (*cwalk->value) periodall = cwalk->value;
          }

          else if (strncasecmp(cwalk->name, "PERIOD", 5) == 0) {
                  if (*cwalk->value) period = cwalk->value;
                  delim = strchr(cwalk->name, '_'); if (delim) id =

atoi(delim+1);

          }

                          if (period) awalk->period = strdup(period);

                          if (periodall) awalk->period = periodall;

                  if (strncmp(awalk->period, "hour", 4) == 0)

awalk->validity *= 60;

                  else if (strncmp(awalk->period, "day", 4) == 0)

awalk->validity *= 60*24;
