dont want notification when machine reboots

[Anthony Montibello]

IF the machines are rebooted at or between a particular time, then setup
DOWNTIME, (potentially setting it up in a script)

with downtime, there is both fixed and dynamic,
using dynamic I find best resembles a reboot senario;  you can set it up so
that the downtime will begin within a particular time frame, then after the
DURATION the downtime ends, because you proboly would like to know if a
machine does not go back up within the a specific timelimit.  With Fixed it
fairly strait foward between here to here ignore notification rules.

Mind Host checks are a burden and sometimes induce a load on the Nagios
server, thus the sugestion earlier by Mark Powell is always a good way to
reduce some of that Host check load.

Good luck,
