You could schedule a cron job to send the appropriate external commands
to nagios _or_ you could define a time period that excludes your
scheduled downtime and assign it to the notification_period for the host
and services so you don't get notified during that window or assign it
to the check_period for the services so that they just aren't checked
during that window.
