Dumb Question: How does one schedule downtime for _all_ services on a host ?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Is there any way with Netsaint 0.0.7 to schedule downtime, through the
web interface, for _all_ services on a host (apart from scheduling
downtime for each service through the extinfo.cgi) ?

This would be useful for extensive maintenance that does not require the
host to be down (an OS upgrade or perhaps a major software subsystem
upgrade).

My Unix server administrator colleagues are doing such an upgrade
tomorrow and they have scheduled downtime for the host not grasping that
Netsaint sees hosts and services somewhat differently than they do.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
