[Xymon] planned downtime

Hi folks,

I'm running 4.3.10 at the moment on Linux and have a question about the
DOWNTIME parameter in hosts.cfg.
- From the man page of hosts.cfg:

DOWNTIME=day:starttime:endtime[,day:starttime:endtime]
DOWNTIME=columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause[,columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause]
    This tag can be used to ignore failed checks during specific times
of the day - e.g. if you run services that are only monitored e.g.
Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, or you always reboot a server every Monday between 5
and 6 pm.

    What happens is that if a test fails during the specified time, it
is reported with status BLUE instead of yellow or red. Thus you can
still see when the service was unavailable, but alarms will not be
triggered and the downtime is not counted in the availability
calculations generated by the Xymon reports.

Can someone confirm that this only works for red and yellow alerts but
not for the purple ones?
Can this behaviour be adjusted somewhere? Except for setting the status
lifetime in the scripts of course.

Thanks
Torsten
