"Disable" is kind of a misnomer, because as You found out it doesn't 
stop Xymon from running the test - it only means that it won't bother
with sending out the alerts.

The main reason for this is that without running the test, Xymon couldn't
implement the "Disable until OK" feature (which I find is really handy).

A second reason is that programming-wise it is actually a lot easier
to just run all the tests.

Henrik
