Comment (by anonymous):

 I have run the patched housekeeper.cpp and have a comment.

 I admit I applied the patch without fully reviewing it and thought that I
 would test the a config that spanned midnight.

 After noticing that mfdb did not run for a couple of days I looked at the
 patch properly and noticed that if starttime > endtime that the
 housekeeping thread will not run.


 There are a couple of options that I see to handle this:
 - The help text should probably let the user know this when configuring
 the start and stop times.
 - The start and stop time should be set to 0 and 23 in this case
 - The patch updated to allow the time window to span midnight.

 Anyway, I will fix my start stop times and keep running the patch.

 Cheers.
