On the other hand, you could use cron to schedule disablement of services:

We have used all three mentioned methods plus one more.
1.) cron for advanced disabling.
the scripts use the bb command.
/home/xymon/server/bin/bb localhost "disable server.* 90 bla_mesg"

2.) DOWNTIME in bb-hosts used to work for us nicely until our app guys went nuts and having irregurlar downtimes (then we had to use option #1). We still use this for most devel/staging machines.
3.) hobbit-enadis.sh
4.) Move the hobbit-alerts.cg file out of the way and/or just stopped the hobbit server daemon processes. Obviously this is a silly way to do it, but it works too. This will skew your hobbit reporting.
-dkw
would disable the TEST service on [1]server.domain.org for 90 minutes, starting at midnight every night. Note that the hostname elements are comma-separated, because the dot marks the beginning of the test/service column name. That's a legacy of the old BB days...
See the "XYMON MESSAGE SYNTAX" section in the bb.1 man page for full details.

With that said, DOWNTIME cannot do advanced scheduling which is I believe one of the very few shortcomings of Xymon. I have a lot of once-a-month maintenance. With Xymon, I believe the maximum time you can do between is weekly.-- Sent from my Palm Pre _______________________________________________________________

You can use enable/disable to schedule future disables of hosts and tests.
You can also use the DOWNTIME setting in bb-hosts if it is a recurring downtime. See the manual.

Is there a manner to configure on Xymon 4.2.3 a planned downtime?
And any news about Xymon 4.3.0 stable? Thanks in advance.
