Eventhandler can be used for everything. Even if we couldn't imagine more usecases i doubt that restarts are the only thing you could do with eventhandlers :-) And if you don't want your eventhandler to run during a downtime, it was possible already using those macros. A few eventhandler scenarios: - update a status database - do an traceroute when a hostcheck fails - update a ticketing system All of them should not be limited by downtimes.
