Options

• target

  Lists blackouts for this target. When neither this nor the -hostnames option is specified, all blackouts the user has privilege to view are listed.

• hostnames

  Lists blackouts that have a target on one of the specified hosts. The host name is just the target name part of the host target. For example, specify host.example.com, rather than host.example.com:host. When neither this nor the -target option is specified, all blackouts the user has privilege to view are listed.

• noheader

  Displays tabular information without column headers.

• script

  This is equivalent to -format="name:script".

• format

  Format specification (default is -format="name:pretty").

  • format="name:pretty" prints the output table in a readable format not intended to be parsed by scripts.

  • format="name:script" sets the default column separator to a tab and the default row separator to a newline. The column and row separator strings can be specified to change these defaults.

  • format="name:csv" sets the column separator to a comma and the row separator to a newline.

  • format="name:script;column_separator:<column_sep_string>" column-separates the verb output by <column_sep_string>. Rows are separated by the newline character.

  • format="name:script;row_separator:<row_sep_string>" row-separates the verb output by <row_sep_string>. Columns are separated by the tab character.

Output Columns

Name, Created By, Status, Status ID, Next Start, Duration, Reason, Frequency, Repeat, Start Time, End Time, Previous End, TZ Region, TZ Offset
