Nagios Support Forum

Thanks everyone! Seriously, I don't mean to ungreatful, but I am aware of the
workarounds. Actually, I am doing that now!

Since this is an RFE (Request For Enhancement) I'm looking for an additional
configuration for a service check that would put in a downtime to be persistent
and repeated. So just like I can go in and specify a specific downtime, I want
to be able to specify a persistent one...AND be able to configure one.

Although adding a new notification period for each service I want to specify a
downtime for works, it divorces the dowtime from the service. It would be much
nicer (bad word) to just configure it on the service.

Thanks again!
