[mrtg] Monitoring a target only during certain hours

[Steve Shipway]

I think what the user wanted here (correct me if Im wrong) was to limit the hours during which polling runs, in order to save network bandwidth.  This means the crontab change would be the right solution.

The Routers2 'workhours' option only affects the highlighting on the graph display and calculation of working hour averages at display time; it doesnt affect when the polling is run and so would not help in this case, I think.

A second method would be to switch to rrdtool, use Routers2.cgi, and set the worktime options appropriately.
