Disabling checks in Nagios

[Tedman Eng]

One way is to use one of the external command scripts
(see here http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php#misc)
and edit the script to use DISABLE_SVC_CHECK and ENABLE_SVC_CHECK.
Scheduling can easily be done using an external scheduler like cron or at,
depending on your needs.
Info about the format of external commands can be found here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/extcommands.html

For example:
# echo "disable_svc_chk.sh foobar ping" | at 0300
job 6 at 2003-12-16 03:00
# echo "enable_svc_chk.sh foobar ping" | at 0330
job 7 at 2003-12-16 03:30

There may exist a script to do such a thing already somewhere, but if there
is, they forgot to tell me.  :)
