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”.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Here is my host_downtime.cfg file: <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> jdets2,6:15:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456<o:p></o:p> jdets3,6:30:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456<o:p></o:p> jdets6,6:45:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456<o:p></o:p> jdets8,7:00:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456<o:p></o:p> jgerpctx05,7:15:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456<o:p></o:p> jdets7,7:30:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456<o:p></o:p> jgerpctx04,7:45:00,2700,CRONTAB,0123456<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Here are the relevant log entries from nagios.log to prove that the cron script executed at 12:01AM.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> [02-23-2005 00:01:11] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;jgerpctx04;1109162700;1109165400;1;2700;CRONTAB;Scheduled Maintenance<o:p></o:p> [02-23-2005 00:01:11] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;jdets7;1109161800;1109164500;1;2700;CRONTAB;Scheduled Maintenance<o:p></o:p> [02-23-2005 00:01:11] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;jgerpctx05;1109160900;1109163600;1;2700;CRONTAB;Scheduled Maintenance<o:p></o:p> [02-23-2005 00:01:11] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;jdets8;1109160000;1109162700;1;2700;CRONTAB;Scheduled Maintenance<o:p></o:p> [02-23-2005 00:01:11] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;jdets6;1109159100;1109161800;1;2700;CRONTAB;Scheduled Maintenance<o:p></o:p> [02-23-2005 00:01:11] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;jdets3;1109158200;1109160900;1;2700;CRONTAB;Scheduled Maintenance<o:p></o:p> [02-23-2005 00:01:01] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;jdets2;1109157300;1109160000;1;2700;CRONTAB;Scheduled Maintenance<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> TIA for the help!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Josh Van As<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed and may be confidential and privileged and protected from disclosure.
