Action "Time period out"

[Andreas Bollhalder]

Hello Alexei

Can you implement the contrary of "Time period in" for actions ? This would help a lot to filter messages when systems are down for backup / restart or anything else which is scheduled.

For example:
If a system is down from tuesday to saturday, 10:00pm to 11:00pm, I have to configure:

Time period in 1-1,00:00-23:59;2-6,00:00-22:00;2-6,23:00-23:59,7-7,00:00-23:59

Better would be

Time period out 2-6,22:00-23:00

Implemented in pre 1.4.2.

Hello Alexei

...old message deleted...

Sorry, I reported before that "Time period not in" is not working. But the error has been on my side. I didn't checked the install of 1.4.2 enough. On my server, the version 1.4.1 of the zabbix_server was still be started. It seems, that on my system (a Gentoo 2007.0), the install path changed from "/usr/local/bin" to "/usr/local/sbin"... Therefore, I had to change the init-scripts too. Don't know, why the install path has changed.

Actually the installation path was changed to sbin/ in ZABBIX scripts. It seems it wasn't mentioned in the release notes...
