Help with Crontab scheduling downtime

[Josh Van As]

Can anyone help with this?  Or at least recommend a downtime scheduler
that works in 2.02b?

 

I can't figure out how to automate scheduling downtime.

 

TIA?

I am using the sched_host_downtime script written by Kelly Cobean.  I am
running it on RedHat Enterprise v3 Linux against Nagios 2.0b2.  I
believe I am correctly scheduling downtime for the hosts listed below
between 6:15am and 7:45AM.  However, when these hosts rebooted, we were
notified by Nagios.  The other oddity I noticed is that the downtime,
although listed in the log, never appeared in the downtime.cfg file or
in the CGI interface for "Downtime".

 

Here is my host_downtime.cfg file: 

 

jdets2,6:15:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456

jdets3,6:30:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456

jdets6,6:45:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456

jdets8,7:00:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456

jgerpctx05,7:15:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456

jdets7,7:30:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456

jgerpctx04,7:45:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456

 

Here are the relevant log entries from nagios.log to prove that the cron
script executed at 12:01AM.
