Okay, I was looking for this, however, I was not able to find it.  Either that 
or I just didn't look hard enough :)

 What is this Ninja and where might one be able to obtain a copy of it?

Their site explains it far better than I could:

Thank you for all your suggestions. Sorry, I got no guts for 'bleeding edge'
technology, and would like to sleep peacefully at night, though I will
follow up on Ninja's development for future upgrades. Patrick's suggestions
are great, simple, tried and true, and will fit our requirements.
Thanks again.

 That's a lot of easy for free tools with advanced features ;)

 Ninja has something along those lines if you're willing to run bleeding
 edge (I think). You can select multiple hosts, hostgroups, services or
 servicegroups and issue commands for them if you like.

 I think it's only in the bleeding edge versions though (meaning in our
 git repositories, which are readable for anyone that wants to clone them).
 It's been a few weeks since I worked on Ninja, so I can't say for sure.

There are times that we need to take couple of hosts from *multiple*
hostgroups for upgrade/testing. It gets to be time consuming commiting
downtime for 20+ hosts one by one. Nagios only has features for either
hostgroups and/or servicegroups but not a listing of nodes where users can
pick and choose which hosts and services to enable/disable/downtime.

You could always slap together a hostgroup that contains the hosts you
want to put in downtime and reload the config.  Alternatively, it
probably wouldn't be hard to come up with a script that took a list of
hosts (and maybe start/end times or durations) and submitted downtimes
for those hosts via Nagios's external command interface.
