Stick that in cro to run at 5 16 * * * and you're all set. -- Marc Sent from a very tiny wireless device with a very tiny unlit keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: Tom DE BLENDE <tdeblend@gcc.dhl.com> To: Fredrik Wänglund <Fredrik.Wanglund@datavis.se> CC: nagios-users <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Thu Feb 13 03:54:42 2003 Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Daily notification 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?
