Is there a way to prevent a host check in agive time period?

[Erik Spigle]

Is there a way, then, to prevent a host check / notification from ever happening during a specific timeframe?  It doesn't really mean much if you can prevent a host notification from happening during a specific timeframe only for it to fire off immediately when that timeframe is up because it checked the host anyway and queued up a notification.

because host checks only "go off" if that host has a service alert.

Why you got a host check fired off is likely an issue of freshness
checking overriding your timeperiod (or, perhaps something else...hard
to say offhand).
