On the other hand, you could use cron to schedule disablement of services:
0 0 * * * /home/xymon/server/bin/bb localhost "disable server,domain,org.TEST 90 scheduled downtime"
would disable the TEST service on 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.

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.
