Scheduling downtimes with external command?

[Ulf Gunnarson]

I use a simple script in crontab which in turn invokes another script made
by Sam Tilders.

Example of crontab script:
---------------------------------------------------------------
[nagios at computer bin]$ crontab -l
00 00 * * * /usr/local/nagios/bin/sched_downtime
[nagios at computer bin]$ more sched_downtime  
#!/bin/sh

#Today variable
tday=`date +%a`

/usr/local/nagios/bin/down_time XXX "`date --iso-8601` 23:30:00" "`date
--iso-8601` 23:59:59" 1 3600 nagios "scheduled downtime"
/usr/local/nagios/bin/down_time XXX "`date --iso-8601` 00:00:30" "`date
--iso-8601` 01:00:00" 1 3600 nagios "scheduled downtime"
/usr/local/nagios/bin/down_time YYY "`date --iso-8601` 01:38:00" "`date
--iso-8601` 06:30:00" 1 3600 nagios "scheduled downtime"
if [ "$tday" = "Fri" ]; then
        /usr/local/nagios/bin/down_time ZZZ "`date +%F` 06:55:00" "`date
+%F` 07:15:00" 1 3600 nagios "Scheduled reboot time"
fi
[nagios at computer bin]$ 
---------------------------------------------------------------

Ive attached the script made by Sam as down_time

Also make sure that external command is enabled in config and that the
proper permissions is set on nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

Hope this helps

Dear List,

maybe I am just blind, but I cant find any documented
external command for scheduling downtimes from an external
application.

Has anybody experiences with this?

Thanks,

Matthias Eichler
