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

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to thank those who responded with advice about this
matter.

In this case, UTSL shows that is should a host be in a period of
scheduled downtime, _no_ notifications are sent for any service on that
host.

This now appears quite consistent with standard behaviour of suppressing
service notifications should a host be down (in this case, Netsaint is
informed that the host may be down during some interval. Since it could
really be down, it makes no sense to send any notifications in that
interval).

The relevant part of notifications.c seems to be in
check_service_notification_viability().

/* if this host is currently in a scheduled downtime period,
don't send the notification */

if(temp_host->scheduled_downtime_depth>0){
#ifdef DEBUG4
    printf("\tThe host this service is associated with is currently in a
scheduled downtime, so we won't send notifications!\n");
#endif
    return ERROR;
}

So, once again, Netsaint does the right thing (TM).

Yours sincerely.
