Schedule Problem

Hi,

I want to perform a Shell Script test (by Hostmon) on a fixed time every day, but the test just not want to start by himself. When I use a regular intervall (eg. every 2 min) it works. The test depends on another test but all conditions are fulfilled.

Use Hostmon v6.80 on Win XP SP2.

Regards,
sabine

There is a special "Irregular schedule" option in "Test Properties" window. With an irregular schedule, you may select one of the following options:

* Start test once a day
* Start test once a week
* Start test once a month

This allows you to perform the test on a given day of week or month, at a given time (e.g. every Monday at 9:00 am; or on the 15th of every month at 3:00pm).

Hi,

I use this option already (start test once a day at 11:00:00). I watched the hostmon console and nothing happend. The test didn't perform at all.

Is it because I changed the time to performe the test a few times this morning? I saved the hostmon list, i restarted hostmon. I realy don't know what to try now.

Yes, it is. HostMonitor will not perform the test twice a day even if you modify time field.

You may setup new test with the same settings.
