OK, I installed the new patch without any problems but I get odd results when trying to use it. Using it from the Info page: Microsoft IE - "A runtime error has occurred. Line 267 - Object expected selecting a different server produces a different line number but the same error
Firefox Mozilla - clicking on the disable button does absolutelynothing
From the Enable/Disable page: Seems to work fine The history keeps a record of who disabled and why

OK, it seemed like most of you liked this new feature, but all of you still wanted a way of disabling stuff on many hosts at once. So I've been busy adding - essentially creating a Hobbit-version of the full maint.pl script.
The result is an updated maintenance-feature patch, available as always from http://www.hswn.dk/beta/maintenance-feature-v2.patch
This is against the 4.0.2 release, like the first version of the patch.
The patch implements the same feature as the first version - you can disable tests for a single host from the "info" page - but it adds an extra script "hobbit-enadis.cgi" that takes over from the maint.pl script. hobbit-enadis.cgi displays an administration page very much like the maint.pl one; I've unashamedly stolen Tom's JavaScript code and used it in my implementation. (I hope he doesn't mind - I'll ask for his permission). However, to better cope with the enormous host-list I've added the ability to filter hosts using three regular expressions - against the hostname, the pagename of the host, and the IP address. That makes it slightly more usable to me...
And:

This has been fixed. I think the current display is very intuitive.
I want to log a cause for every disable/enable, scheduled or
immediate.
This is now forced via some Javascript validation, which also makes sure you don't hit the "Apply" button without selecting hosts, tests, entering a valid duration etc.
