Hi all,

I have a self-compiled nagios 3.0.5 running on a 64-bit Xeon box with  
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.  Everything went perfectly (including notifications)  
until I upgraded from 3.0.1 (iirc) to 3.0.5 during a bigger service  
downtime (inter alia shifting the box into an other network etc).

In nagios.debug, I see messages like (nagios time stamps converted for  
better readability)

(Note the shift in "next possible notification time"!)

The host related to this service is a "generic-printer" with options

         notification_period     workhours
         notification_interval   240
         notification_options    d,r
         contact_groups          admins

and workhours is actually set to 08:30-18:00 for weekdays.  Any idea  
why the notification test fails and effectively jumps from one day to  
the next, without sending any messages?

Thanks, Albrecht.
