My solution works somewhat differently than the old "maint.pl" script:
The enable/disable functionality is no longer a separate webpage
listing all hosts; instead, this function is moved to each hosts'
"info" column page. I did this because I have about 2000 hosts, so the
list of all hosts was practically unusable in my setup. You can see
how it looks on the demo site http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/ - just pick
one of the "info" buttons.
The problem with this sollution is, that everybody with acces to the 
monitorpages can now enable/disable tests. We like to make information 
available to all IT-staff, but the enabling/disabling is being done by 
operations, based on RFC and calls. How to prevent others from 
enabling/disabling in this new concept?
