Schedule Downtime w/o authentication requirement

[Subin Shakya]

Andreas, Thanks for your advice.  But, FYI, I have done what I could
before I painfully signed up and advertised  my issue on this list. 

By the way, I am novice on Nagios (heck also with Linux) and took me a
while to build the Nagios system which I am extremely proud of.

What do you think? Can you pass your knowledge to me now?

Nagios is more polite than I am. RTFM and do some thinking and you'll
find the answer.

On a sidenote; I know the answer but I'm not interested in giving it to
you when you haven't even bothered trying to find it for yourself.
