hmm. i inadvertantly replied to the wrong email address, so, it seems this thread is missing the key response from Dirk detailing what he had me change. i won't repeat it. Dirk, if you want to share.........
anyway, for my purposes, it worked because the pattern was simple, identical for each entry and easy to pick up on. i wouldn't monkey with some of the other settings. but again, it's only a text file and you can always test it and then revert if something breaks. now that my schedules are correct, i've created an entry i call TEMPLATE, that i use to create all new entries from. that, or, being sure to set the schedule on each new entry. i spent hours configuring things the day we bought the software. i'm working in a new shop now and didn't realize all that was going on. only after configuring hundreds of checks, did i realize that we have over a dozen machines that reboot at 5 minutes to midnight. Servers Alive did it's duty and sent email to my boss's cell phone (a dozen!) around midnight... so, i needed to alter the monitoring schedule and fast. i prayed i'd find a global replace for this function, but, no joy. that was my dilemma. now, if you have individual days that are different or something, the mass replace isn't an option. otherwise, five minutes with two copies of Notepad and i was set. thanx -----Original Message----- From: dirk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 9:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Global Schedule Change It looks normal to me that all settings are in the file. However some are easy to "search-replace" and some are not. We have the intention to have a largely extended global replace options in one of the next releases of Servers Alive. At that point it will be "easy" to do mass changes. dirk. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Roland Gaspar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2003 09:34:34 -0400 >oooh.. that's a big no-no... the format of the host file has not been >released... this is "at your own risk" stuff... > > > > >________________________ >Roland Gaspar >Tel.: (514) 398-7880 xt 8603 >www.roland-gaspar.com > > > >>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/06/03 06:53AM >>> >Hello all! >Isn't it possible to do "masschanges" in the "hostfile" It looks like >every >setting is in there! >/Per > >>>> "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 2003-06-06 07:05:50 >>> >Next time I'll send some music with my emails too :-) > > >Dirk. > >Woodstone is moving it's offices to a new location.
