scheduling recurring downtime?

[Martin, Stanley G]

I guess one could create a script to write multiple statements to the
external command file, or just create a custom timeperiod that doesn't
include the few minutes that the server is rebooted.  That's what I've
done for the Oracle databases we monitor that get taken down every
Sunday for cold backups.

Subject: [Nagios-users] scheduling recurring downtime?


One machine here gets rebooted every Sunday at 1PM.  It's down for a
couple
minutes at most, but our in-house monitor still notices.  More
generally,
our regular maintenance window is Sunday from 1AM to noon, so machines
are
sometimes taken down then.  When I switch over to Nagios I'd like to
avoid
such spurious notices.  I know how to schedule a specific downtime
period.
Is there a way to schedule a recurring downtime short of setting up a
cron
job to submit it?

Thanks,
