Check Service at a specific time...

[Gavin Williams]

Sean, 

Cheers for the recommendation. I got a similar response on the Centreon
support forum... I've implemented a check on this basis, so will see
what it comes back with :) 

Cheers
Gavin

I accomplish the same thing with a combination of a severely restricted 
time period:

define timeperiod{
         timeperiod_name oncedaily
         alias           For Running Checks Daily
         monday          08:40-09:00
         tuesday         08:40-09:00
         wednesday       08:40-09:00
         thursday        08:40-09:00
         friday          08:40-09:00
         saturday        08:40-09:00
         sunday          08:40-09:00
         }

The checks that use this have a normal_check_interval of 30 minutes. 
This results in them being scheduled for a single run at 8:40A every
day.
