On the other hand, you could use cron to schedule disablement of services:

   0 0 * * * /home/xymon/server/bin/bb localhost "disable
server,domain,org.TEST 90 scheduled downtime"

would disable the TEST service on server.domain.org for 90 minutes, starting
at midnight every night.  Note that the  hostname elements are
comma-separated, because the dot marks the beginning of the test/service
column name.  That's a legacy of the old BB days...

See the "XYMON MESSAGE SYNTAX" section in the bb.1 man page for full
details.

With that said, DOWNTIME cannot do advanced scheduling which is I believe
one of the very few shortcomings of Xymon. I have a lot of once-a-month
maintenance. With Xymon, I believe the maximum time you can do between is
weekly.

You can use enable/disable to schedule future disables of hosts and tests.

You can also use the DOWNTIME setting in bb-hosts if it is a recurring
downtime. See the manual.

Is there a manner to configure on Xymon 4.2.3 a planned downtime?

And any news about Xymon 4.3.0 stable?

Thanks in advance.
