Clearing previous flapping states?

[Tim Philips]

Hi All,

Tell me, is it possible to pass a command to the Nagios command file to clear (previous) flapping?  I'm picking no - based on my understanding of the documentation but thought I would ask.

The scenario is we have a number of "check software updates" that run and as such we schedule these daily.  There is a scenario within the flapping "period" where there are and aren't updates some of the future "warning or critical" warnings get suppressed.  

The simple answer that springs to mind for me is to disable flapping for things that are scheduled over x number of hours.  How are other people dealing with such things?
