# The ipm_business_hour_x settings describe which hours of the day IPM
# will use when generating daily, weekly and monthly reports. Each hour
# of the day, starting with 0 (midnight) and going through 23 (11 PM)
# may be included in the reports. However, you will probably want to
# restrict the hours included in the reports to normal business hours.#
# The hours are defined as starting at 0 minutes past the hour, and going
# through 59 minutes and 59 seconds past the hour.#
# Set the value of each ipm_business_hour_x parameter to either 0 or 1.
# A value of 1 indicates that IPM will use this hour of the day when
# generating daily, weekly and monthly reports. A value of 0 indicates
# that IPM will ignore this hour of the day when generating daily, weekly
# and monthly reports.#
# For example, setting 'ipm_business_hour_9=1' will cause all data collected
# between 9:00AM and 9:59AM on business days to be included in reports.#
