[Nagios-devel] New Nagios external commands for downtime deletion

Actually we're doing this now by utilizing livestatus to query for the info=
and then issuing a delete comment that way. This seems easier though.

Subject: [Nagios-devel] New Nagios external commands for downtime deletion

Hi!

I've just committed into SVN trunk 4 new downtime deletion commands:
* DEL_HOSTGROUP_HOST_DOWNTIME;hostgroupname
* DEL_HOSTGROUP_SVC_DOWNTIME;hostgroupname
* DEL_HOST_SVC_DOWNTIME;hostname
* DEL_DOWNTIME_BY_START_TIME_COMMAND;starttime;comment

This allows downtime deletions to work in a master/slave setup, because the=
current mechanism of deletion by id number doesn't work in a distributed e=
nvironment.

The first three have been in Opsview for years, but the last one is new, so=
we're adding all these into Nagios core today.

There are tests written to process the external command (in test_commands.c=
) and the downtime deletion (in test_downtime.c - which caught two bugs!).

A few questions for Ethan:
* I assume svn trunk is the right place to put this - I note that in bran=
ches/ there a feature branches. Can I suggest that you use trunk for latest=
development and create a stable branch instead. This is what we do for Ops=
view and it works very well (we tried the other way of development branches=
but caused a lot of unnecessary maintenance)
* Where is the documentation to go for new external commands? Google says=
here: http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/ext ... dlist.php=
but it is broken, and the domain is old.nagios.org
