<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi - hope someone can clarify if this
is a bug or not, I'm running Nagios 3.2.3 on SuSE, monitoring over 100
hosts and almost 1000 checks. I have a varied number of time periods defined
simply because some hosts / services are offline or don't actually run
24x7 so are not neededto be alerted on.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">However I have one specific group of
servers that use a specific time period and they continually log this:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">[Mon Nov 7 21:30:00 2011] Warning:

properly. Scheduling check for next week...</font>

night after I'd manully "Re-scheduled the next check of this service"
via the GUI in the afternoon.</font>

- but it's not clear if this is meant to be resoloved or not? For me it
certainly isn't.</font></a>
