thanks for the note. On the one hand it might prevent miscalculating
during reports but in my mind it's just easier.
Currently we're reinstalling many of our systems. The first a system is
getting back after new OS installation is the IP address and one of the
last things is the nrpe installation. Most of the reinstall time the
system is available through the hostcheck but the services aren't.

I'm not sure if service notifications were surpressed if only the host
is within a downtime... Our operational crew mainly work with "viewing
the nagios" instead of reading it's notifications and on the CGIs it
looks a little confusing if the host is up (but in downtime), some
additional services like snmptrap or "ping" service are OK but other are
not.

The command itself isn't a new one. SCHEDULE_HOST_SVC_DOWNTIME exists
already, if we can trust
http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=122,
it exists since nagios epoch ;) , only the possibility to use this
command within the cmd.cgi via extinfo.cgi would be provided by my patch.

Regards,
Hendrik
