Thanks Jim for the explanation but I do not see any rational reason to
execute host and service checks while the monitored host is scheduled for
"fixed" downtime.

But if the host/services are offline after the scheduled "fixed" downtime
period ends it will send the notifications anyway (or would it not?)

I wish there was a way to disable active checks while a host has scheduled
downtime set.
