My hobbit server is suffering following error message in page.log file.

1. Current error messages in page.log, not like the other problem on this list, I don't have anything after ":" character to help me debug.

hobbit$ tail page.log 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-06-04 22:22:28 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): hobbit$

2. After RTFM, Following is an expanded debug log after I added "--debug" at page daemon in hobbitlaunch.cfg. (11 days ago)

2.1 in following log, do this mean the tsail-c's TIME=W:0080:1800 macro has syntax issue ?

2009-05-22 23:59:16 cleanup_alert called for host tsail-c.test.com, test memory 2009-05-22 23:59:16 Found a first matching rule 2009-05-22 23:59:16 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 2009-05-22 23:59:16 Weekday does not match 2009-05-22 23:59:16 No more secondary matching rule 2009-05-22 23:59:16 Found no first matching rule 2009-05-22 23:59:16 cleanup_alert called for host turn50.test.com, test conn

2.2 following are more clueless error, it didn't show any host information and it says "00:01:34 Found a first matching rule" and then "00:01:34 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays):"

3. I tried commented out all the "DOWNTIME" entries in bb-hosts* files, but "Bad timespec ..." still keep spitting into page.log.

4. Seems to me both DOWNTIME(bb-host*) and TIME (in hobbit-alerts.cfg*) both generate same kind of error message.
