Tom,
$ man Xymon
disable HOSTNAME.TESTNAME DURATION <additional text>
Disables a specific test for DURATION minutes. This will cause the status of this test to be listed as "blue" on the Xymon server, and
no alerts for this host/test will be generated. If DURATION is given as a number followed by s/m/h/d, it is interpreted as being in sec-
onds/minutes/hours/days respectively. To disable a test until it becomes OK, use "-1" as the DURATION. To disable all tests for a
host, use an asterisk "*" for TESTNAME.
enable HOSTNAME.TESTNAME
Re-enables a test that had been disabled.Shouldn't be hard to roll your own script from here or I can share a rather simple script we use.

I have a request to take an entire area of hosts and place setup a maintenance window starting at a certain time and for say 3 hours. Is there a script that I can send it a list and have it place all of the devices in maintenance mode?
All corporate servers will require a window of 3 hours at 6pm tonight. Also, is there any option on the HOST line that will not show up (like an actual comment not the COMMENT: entry) that can be used to select them from. e.g. the word 'CORP' in the options like that will normally be ignored by Xymon?
I am running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2.
Also, is there a way to show the COMMENT or DESCRIPTION on the line like it does in the non-green view under this release?
Thanks,
