Periodic Overrides

Hi all,

	For any given service, what is the accepted method for overriding test
values for a specific time period?  For example, we have servers that
are backed up at a given time each night.  During the backup period,
load is driven up on the server, exceeding the current threshold.  This,
in turn, results in alerts being sent out about the server.

	However, since we know about this in advance, and it's a scheduled
service, we'd like to override the load value during the backup period.
 So if we normally trigger on a load of 2, we'd like to instead trigger
on a load of 4 during backups.

	I know I can create two services with two timeperiods that will handle
this, but is there a better way?

Thanks,
