skip monitoring every 4 weeks

[Assaf Flatto]

Hello 

I have a situation where i need to turn of monitoring for server while they are being rebooted , 
this is done during the weekend , and the person doing the reboots is not one that has access to
the nagios .

i know that Version 3 placed the functionality of alternating and dynamic scheduling in the 
timeperiods definitions , but after reading the online documentation , i'm not realy clear on ho i 
can achieve my gaol.

I need the monitoring for a server to be stopped during a period (specific times TBD ) every 4th 
weekend , (Sunday or Saturday , again yet to be determined ).

I understand that I need to define a time period and add an "exclude"  to the time period the host 
in question has defined .

My issue is with the correct format of the "skipped" timeperiod .
Is what I'm defining below correct in format and functionality  - if not in strict content  ?

define timeperiod{
       timeperiod_name weekend-off
       Sunday /28              00:00-24:00
       }

define timeperiod{
       timeperiod_name box-reboot
       use             24x7
       exclude         offweekend
}


Thanks
