Is there a way to prevent a host check in agive time period?

[Greg Vickers]

There sure is a way - change the timeperiod defined for that host check 
/ notification so the timeperiod excludes that time frame. Then Nagios 
will not perform a check or send notifications during that time.

It doesn't really mean much if you can prevent a host notification from happening during a specific timeframe only for it to fire off immediately when that timeframe is up because it checked the host anyway and queued up a notification.
