Hi Jérémy, thank you very much for this solution. At the moment I'm not quite sure, if I will really implement such a setup. I'm afraid that I will not be able to remember what I'm doing here in a year or so ;) I guess, will stick to a script based solution working with a single timer firing a few minutes after reboot and let the script do the test for the weekend. I think this is easier to understand in case of needed maintenance.
