Checking for live systems once every night.

[Toonz IT]

This is how we have given time period to check if a number of workstation
were alive at 10PM every night of a week. But we are getting alerts every
half an hour. where have we gone wrong.


define timeperiod{
                timeperiod_name         10pm
                alias                   10:00 everyday
                sunday                  10:00-10:00
                monday                  10:00-10:00
                tuesday                 10:00-10:00
                wednesday               10:00-10:00
                thursday                10:00-10:00
                friday                  10:00-10:00
                saturday                10:00-10:00
                }
