scheduling recurring downtime?

[Russell Adams]

I had a system that used to reboot nightly at 1 AM.

I made it a custom timeperiod for just that host, which excluded
12AM-2AM. If it didn't reboot properly, we'd get notified at 2 AM,
otherwise no notifications went out.

Using a timeperiod is quick enough, there's no need for external
scripts.

It should be simple to edit the script so that it disable notifications just for the one host and all the services.
