Daily notification

[Fredrik Wänglund]

An other possibility is to run it more often an check the current time in the check-command.

Now why didn't I think of that?

One thing though: it should only run once per day, and at 16:05 sharp.
How would you go about that?

define service{
        normal_check_interval   1440
        retry_check_interval    1440
}

and timeperiod 

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name         beepertest
        alias                   Beeper Test
        sunday                  16:00-16:01
        monday                  16:00-16:01
        tuesday                 16:00-16:01
        wednesday               16:00-16:01
        thursday                16:00-16:01
        friday                  16:00-16:01
        saturday                16:00-16:01
        }

Will this work?
