DESCRIPTION
- The file isdnd.rates contains descriptions how long charging
- units last
at a given time of day, day of week and the distance to the - destination.
If this file is available, this information may be used by - the isdnd(8)
ISDN connection management daemon to calculate the short - hold time for a
connection. - The format of a rate entry line is as follows:
- The first field, the (rate-code) defines a collection of
- rates (for each
day of the week) which can be referenced in the isdnd(8) - configuration
file isdnd.rc(5). This field must start with the identifier - ``ra'' followed by a digit in the range of zero to four.
- The second field, the (day-number) selects the day of week
- for which this
entry defines the rates, where 0 stands for Sunday, 1 for - Monday and so
on until the digit 6 which stands for Saturday. - The rest of the line consists of one or more space separated
- fields which
have the following syntax:
start_hour.start_minutes-end_hour.end_min- utes:charge_unit_length
- Start_hour and start_minutes define the begin of a time sec
- tion and
end_hour and end_minutes define the end. Charge_unit_length - define the
length of a charging unit in the previously defined time - section. No
spaces or tabs are allowed inside this field. The hour and - minutes specifications MUST have exactly 2 digits, in case just one dig
- it is needed,
a leading 0 must be used. - For example,
14.00-18.00:90- defines, that between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM the length of one
- charging unit
lasts 90 seconds.
