Change settings with personal scripts by modifying database

[Kinoha]

Hello,

I need to change the function of monitor and enable/disable zones.

Looking into the database I found the following tables:
Monitors with the Function field
Zones with the Type field

I wonder if I can change these fields (with command: mysql -zmuser -pzmpass -e "USE zm;UPDATE Zones SET Type='Active' WHERE Name='XXXX';" e.g.) or if there is a better solution?

Thanks

Use run states to make zoneminder do different things at different times or events:

The example uses cron to change the state, but you don't have to.
You can change the state from the command line or in a script.
