Thank you very much! I'm really more interested in keying off the actual backup, rather than a specific time. The reason is that I may not always have control over when the backup window occurs.

I haven't looked in to it much, but I assume one > could do it with the cgi's? i have a tiny piece of perl which produces a scheduled downtime for a defined service on a defined host from x minutes in the future to y minutes in the future. you run it with the relevant arguments and feed the output straight to your command file, which in my case is /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd . it works very nicely out of cron, i use to automatically schedule 2-300 downtime windows a week. hacking it to schedule host downtime instead would be trivial; sorry if that's not what you meant by "drop a host into maintenance mode programmatically". if that might be of interest to anyone let me know and i'll put it up somewhere. it's not very complex! -- Tom Yates - http://www.teaparty.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
