Thats what exclude_period is for. Unfortunately there is a known minor bug
in mon 0.99.2 that prevents exclude_periods from working. The fix is to
make the following change:
Search for exclude_period until you find:
elsif ($var eq "exclude_period" && inPeriod (time, $args) == -1)
{
close (CFG);
return "cf error: malformed exclude_period '$args' (the specified time
period is not valid as per Time::Period::inPeriod), line $line_num";
}
Change that to:
elsif ($var eq "exclude_period")
{
if (inPeriod (time, $args) == -1)
{
close (CFG);
return "cf error: malformed exclude_period '$args' (the specified
time period is not valid as per Time::Period::inPeriod), line $line_num";
}
}
(I removed some of the indentation for clarity.)
Then in your mon.cfg in the relevant service you add:
exclude_period <your period spec here>
i.e.
exclude_period wd{1} hr{4} min{0-20}
