Scheduling downtime for all services in a host?

[karl.kornel at mindspeed.com]

I also thought that was the case, so I decided to try it.

I declared a host with 2 services, PING and SSH, and I waited until Nagios 
ran its first checks to make sure that everything was up.  Then I declared 
an hour of flexible downtime on the host, scheduled to start 5 minutes ago 
and to last for one hour.  I did this using the CGIs.

Once my command had been received, I turned off SSH (just SSH).  I would 
expect that, since I had declared downtime, I would not be notified about 
the SSH failure.  However, 10 minutes later I got an email telling me that 
SSH on the host was down.

So it looks to me like scheduling downtime just for the host will not 
automatically schedule downtime for the services on the host, and I can 
not assume that the host and its services will be going down at the same 
time.
