the following cron line should work

58 1 * * *  root  echo "`date '+%s'`;DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS;win2kserver"
>> /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

that presupposes:
1. that you have external command checks enabled (see the docs)
2. that your external commands file is in /usr/local/nagios/var/rw (see the docs)
3. that your server is called "win2kserver"
