Scheduling downtime for all services in a host?

[Lori Adams]

I wrote a perl script that gets all the services for a host, and then
uses the EXTERNAL_COMMAND corresponding to scheduling downtime to put
hosts into a downtime.  It outputs the entire command to the nagios.cmd
file.

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.
