Why would Xymon care about whether a host disabled for a specific
period of time becomes OK during that time?
But the original question started: Usually, these are set to 'until ok'
and the host marked blue with no alerts.  However Xymon still sends an
arp request / ping to check when the host becomes available.

i.e. No mention of "period of time".
Duh.  I seem either to be partially blind this morning, or ready for tea
with Pat Summitt.  I always use time disablements for maintenance windows.
 "Until OK" re-enables the server if it bounces during the window, not
desirable.
