More than two quarantine reports.

Can we please have the option to add more than two quarantine reports a day?

We are a global company and we cannot set quarantine report times so that some office is basically a whole working day without receiving customer email due to quarantine report coming too late or too early in the day.

I know this should be a feature request, but is there a way to manually hack this in for the time being? (Yes, will void warranty etc).

Any assistance or ideas appreciated. We need a minium of 3 a day, though once every 6 hours would be nice.

It might be easier to code and more efficient if they replaced the two timers with a single interval dropdown:
every
2 hours
6 hours
12 hours
24 hours

Even if somebody did know a hack, it would wind up being overwritten with every u2d.

Yes agreed! 2,4,6,8,12, 24 would be good. Or break it up by SMTP Profile.

Happy for a hack that will get overwritten as long as the changes aren't huge.

Hey Simon, have you tried contacting Astaro Support yet? Given your situation (global company), they might hook you up with a CRON job or something to get you by. In the meantime, I'd post it as a feature request (or vote for it if it's already listed, I'd bet it is) at feature.astaro.com.

I had a thought (dangerous I know). Since you already have a ticket open, see if you can pry out of them the shell command needed to trigger the Q-report to run. With this you can kick one off manually as needed. If you can find this out, then you can use that info to "hack" your own cron job.

I am sorry, but the quarantine report cannot be triggered via a shell command.

Yep, just dug through crontab, it's not there.... bummer, that would have been an easy workaround.

An IT guy at a firm in Germany posted a genius solution in the German Forum.

"alle 2 Stunden zwischen 07:00 und 17:00" = "every 2 hours between 7AM and 5PM"
"Digest stündlich" = "hourly report"

Add the desired lines to /etc/crontab-static . Then, in WebAdmin, in 'Management >> Up2Date' change 'Firmware Download Interval' to "Manual," [Apply], change it back to its original value and [Apply] again. This step incorporates crontab-static into crontab.
