R: little question about disable notification and schedule downtime

[Alex Griffin]

For example, to disable host checks on host "Sample1," check the 
documentation at 
http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=54, 
which tells you to run the following command on your Nagios server:

     # echo "[$(date +%s)] DISABLE_HOST_CHECK;Sample1" > 
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

The list of commands is located here: 
http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php
