Hi Josh

I have a device that shuts down at 7:30pm and comes back up at 7:30am.  What
is the best way to disable this host every single night?

I would like it to be marked as disabled during this time, but I definitely
do not want the bb.html, bb2.html and bb.wml showing up red - red is bad!  I
also need it to stop sending email alerts.

Would DOWNTIME= be what am I looking for?  If so can someone explain how the
day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:cause] gets filled it?

I need it to be every weekday in the evenings and nights as well as every
weekend.
I had almost the same issue : do not display databases connection errors during the night backup, here we go :

 ip.ip.ip.ip   name    # conn foo bar    NAME:"Nice Name"     DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:MyReason

 That's it ;)
