No only that, from an application point of view we don't check when somebody comes back on schedule. We only need to check the schedule when we need to send something. The schedule as such is something that isn't active, it's just a table that is checked when needed. For me the solution of the problem "sits" within a procedure for the people and not for the application.
If you're not on duty and a host goes down then it's the person that is on duty that is responsible to solve the problem. If he/she can't do it within his/her on duty time then contact the person that is on duty after you. Also a person who's "time" starts has to check the webpage for any down entry's.

Ozar Sent: Thu Sep 05 1:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] It seems like what we really need is just a special check whenever anyone comes on schedule. When they come on schedule after being off, then run a cycle (or make a note of it for the next cycle) and email them of anything down, regardless of their settings. That introduces a ton of problems, though. For example, I've got checks that are set to notify me only if they're down 10 times - does the 10 get reset whenever someone new comes on schedule? That would be a pain for programming. -------------------------------- Brent Ozar - UniFocus -------------------------------- He does the work of three men: Larry, Moe, and Curly. -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Bulinckx [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 6:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] This would mean that for each person we would have to keep a queue for each entry...don't think we're going to do that.
