FAQ ? How does one schedule downtime for all services in a hostgroup or a set of hosts ?

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for a reply to what is now a stupid question. 
I beg your pardon.

Is there any way of using the CGIs (in the same way as you have 
described) to schedule downtime for all services on an arbitrary subset 
of hosts ?

It seems that the extinfo CGI does not have an option to 'schedule 
downtime for all services on this host', although there are links to 
'disable notifications for all services on this host'.

Unless the hosts that are subject to 'service downtime' are in a 
hostgroup, scheduling downtime for all the services seems only possible 
through ad-hoc methods.

Would a (presumably new) CGI option to 'schedule downtime for all 
services on this host' be useful ?

Would a new CGI to allow selection of a set of hosts to schedule 
downtime on all their services be useful ?

An extra CGI may be most easily do-able as an add-on.
