event-handler

Hi 

I want to be able to schedule downtime automatically between 9-7am everyday, 
as this particular host will go down during this time. 
I am wondering why my event-handler is not working. If anyone can point out 
where did I go wrong or improve on my scripts, it will be most helpful for 
me! 

In my nagios.log shows the following and that's it:

[1057051481] HOST ALERT: hostABC;DOWN;SOFT;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss=100%
[1057051481]HOSTEVENTHANDLER:hostABC;DOWN;SOFT;1;check-handle-host-downtime-event
[1057051495] HOST ALERT: hostABC;DOWN;SOFT;2;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss =100%
[1057051495]HOSTEVENTHANDLER:hostABC;DOWN;SOFT;2;check-handle-host-downtime-event
[1057051509] HOST ALERT: hostABC;DOWN;HARD;3;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss =100%
[1057051509] HOST NOTIFICATION: admin;hostABC;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;PING\ 
CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%
[1057051510]HOSTEVENTHANDLERhostABC;DOWN;HARD;3;check-handle-host-downtime-event

When executing the script manually :
/usr/nagios/libexec/handle-host-downtime-event DOWN HARD 

It will put this into nagios.log:

[1057052632] Warning: Unrecognized external command -> EXTERNAL COMMAND: 
SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME; hostABC;1057052631;105708863

These are the permissions of my scripts.
