Thanks for the reply. Here is what I did..<br><br><br>define timeperiod{<br> timeperiod_name maintenance<br> alias Maintenance period<br> sunday 04:00-01:00<br> monday 04:00-01:00
<br> tuesday 04:00-01:00<br> wednesday 04:00-01:00<br> thursday 04:00-01:00<br> friday 04:00-01:00<br> saturday 04:00-01:00<br> }<br><br>And on the host check template I put maintenance in as the notification/check schedule. Will this work?
