Sunday.

d. Select the source(s) that activates the handler.
e. Click the Submit button to save the handler.
2. Create a second handler for Sunday:
a. Select Sunday from the day filter fields.
b. Do not set a Start time or End time, as this is a 24-hour event.
c. Select the source(s) that activates the handler.
d. Click the Submit button to save the second handler.
