Allow 24x7 email, but restrict winpopup to Bus iness Hours

Good morning Freddy,

  i must disagree.  All it would really take is the facility behind lines
like pager_notification_period, alternate_notification_command, and
_alternate_notification_period.

just my 2 cents, keep the change =)

not at all. You could do the job yourself in the notify script which
could take as argument the current time of notification. So you
notify 24x7 but you process the time in your notification script
to determine what to do.

I do not think that it would be a nice feature... just will render the
configuration more complex... nice software are software easy to use.
yet that's only my poor opinion, so.

Freddy.
