    It's pretty much exactly what Stumpr and Darren said - let's apply what they're saying to your log entry.

    09:20:28.210 [21437] <2> logparams: reggie reggie_weekly -0 0 0 -1 0 0 -2 0 0 -3 0 0 -4 0 0 -5 64800 43200 -6 0 0 -M xxxx.xxxx

    This specifies seven sets of windows; one for each day of the week.

    -0 0 0 No window on Sunday
    -1 0 0 No window on Monday
    -2 0 0 No window on Tuesday
    -3 0 0 No window on Wednesday
    -4 0 0 No window on Thursday
    -5 64800 43200 Open window from 18:00 (aka "64800 seconds after midnight") to 06:00 Saturday (aka "43200 seconds 12 hours") on Friday
    -6 0 0 No window on Saturday
    -M xxxx.xxxx your master

    I don't know what "-generation" is used for (SLP?) but you're not using it here so I can weasel out of telling you THAT answer.  ;-)

    -Generation shows up in other Schedule-related commands.  It looks like, at some point, there was going to be some concept of versioning for schedules, but it certainly isn't obvious from the GUI that that ever really took hold, but the parameter seems to have persisted.
