Exclude Notifications during certian hours

[Alex Griffin]

There may be a better way to do this, but I believe this will work. 
Define a new timeperiod like so:

     define timeperiod{
         timeperiod_name 	exclude_nights
         alias           	No notifications 00:30-6:30
         sunday          	00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
         monday          	00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
         tuesday         	00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
         wednesday       	00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
         thursday        	00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
         friday          	00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
         saturday        	00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
         }

Then in the appropriate host definitions add 'check_period exclude_nights'.
