My colleague has no objections ... so if somebody wants to have this
disable-alert-script ... no problem ..

a little example to disable an test :

flemming at titan:~ $ hobbit_cmd -v -d 1d -s cpu -c "known" bird033
PREPARING...

"disable bird033.cpu 1d known, Fri Jul 17 16:14:51 2009"
Sent 1 commands for 1 host.
