patch: changing a service check command depending on time of day

[Duncan Ferguson]

Hi Hendrik,

I did consider it, but thought adding the check directly to nagios  
would keep it easier to manage in the long run (especially since most  
of the code is already there and it was just a few additions to  
enable it) , rather than trying to keep track of cron jobs.

Thanks

   Duncs
