I too find it easiest to just comment out the DLEs. Changing “strategy” to skip is more work. I do set up a separate cronjob to PING the node once a day, so I get an email notice when it comes back up. (And every previous day saying that it is NOT up yet.) I’m not the node owner, just the backup, so I’m not involved in getting the node back up. This works nicely for me. Deb Baddorf Fermilab
