Follow Ups not on Saturday - Sunday

[mdm]

I'd like to send the follow up messages only on business days.  Skipping Saturday and Sunday would be a good start.  Tied into a calendar showing other holidays would be even better, but would need a calendar for each country.

At any rate, has anybody else solved this problem and if so is there a switch I can toggle, or a script I can tweak.

If not, please add this type of logic to the wish list :-)

Thank you.

This is possible by modifying your cron task to only run on those days.  This has the disadvantage of not processing 'delays' on the off-days, however.

Here's the cron timing:

0 10 * * 1-5

I will consider some new options for dailymail.

This is helpful, Dean.

If I set the cron tab to 0 that means the email followups go out only on Sunday. Am I right?

If so, how do I number the Delays in the sequence?

Thanks,
Len

Len,

Yes, the following would cause dailymail to execute only on Sunday at 10 am:
0 10 * * 0

To have your messages go out every Sunday set all of your delays to 0.  A delay of 1 will skip a whole week.

Many thanks.
