Timeperiod problem

Hello,
I am running nagios 1.2 on a SUSE 9.2 system. Basically this works fine.
However I have a problem with timeperiods I do not understand.
What I want is to have nagios check a servive (load on a linux system) only in
the time or 00:00 -> 22:00 because I know that at about 23:00 (11:00pm) there
will be a load peak on the system checked that would lead to a nagios warning
or error fpr this service.
So i thought to define a timeperiod that excludes this period of time and then
in the services.cfg to used this limited timeperiod definition for the
check_period statement. According to the documentation this should keep
nagios from checking this service if the current time is not valid. The
configuration is given below.
Allthough I thought this should work, it doesn't. The service is still checkek
in the time of 22:00->00:00 and I get an nagios error for this service at
23:10. But why?
Next I tried to write a undefined timeperiod in the servicedefinition below.
Simply a name like xyz instead of 2allbut22__00". Nagios restarted without
any problems which I consider even more strabge. Next I move the
timeperiod.cfg file away from /etc/nagios and restarted nagios again. This
time it complained that it is unable to open the timeperiods.cfg file.
Does anyone have an idea whats going wrong?
Thanks a lot
Rainer
