Just curious - why black out ever other day?
The blackout period doesn't take effect until a host has been pinged a
certain number of days outside of the blackout interval to be sure it
will be available after hours. Normally it will work to add new hosts
late in day and start the first run manually from the web interface.
That way you can be sure it is working and the approximately 24 hour
interval will keep it from running before that time the next day - and
by the time it drifts out of that cycle the blackout period will be
effective. But, you can change those settings if you want.
