Yes, this works. I assumed the original poster didn't want the tedium of
editing them all in the GUI all over again, but I realized he didn't say
that necessarily. Don't forget, if that is what you want, you can at least
script this on the command line using the xymon command (which can use
wildcards too, if your servers happen to be named that way).

Hi Mike,

We have maintenance scheduled for 14 servers in our environment this
Saturday night. Knowing that the systems could be rebooted, etc, anytime
between 9PM and 1AM, I've prescheduled these servers to be "disabled"
from
2059 on Saturday night thru 0101 on Sunday morning.

I'm now being given a directive to have these systems disabled from 1959
to 0101.

I'd like to be able to modify the existing schedule, without having to
remove and recreate them. As the GUI doesn't provide this option (only
an
option to cancel), I'm hoping that I can find a file wherein I can
modify
the schedule.
Unless I am missing something it is as simple going into the gui and
disabling
them again with the correct schedule. I have done that many times. Last
change
wins.
That's correct. As there's currently no facility to edit the schedules via
the GUI (perhaps I should submit that as a feature request), I was hoping
to find a file where I could modify the (Unix) start time and duration (as
that's how they appear to be stored, when I look at them in the xymond.chk
file).
