<div>there are several options for this objective,</div>
<div>1) setup Time Periods or notification time periods (Read the Nagios Manual for more info)</div>
<div>2) use one of the downtime scripts that can be found on nagios exchange.</div>

<div>I am usign a slighly modified version of one of the scripts that is run from cron. instead of running the script from cron for each downtime, I run a wrapper script that contains all my downtime for that day and feeds it into the script.

Some hosts are not reachable every day at the same time or for the same duration; while full backup for example. Whatever I do, the scheduled downtime is always non-persistent, so I have to schedule everyday again.
