[Becker Christian]

Hello,

we do this that way, that using a script in cron, at a certain time we copy alerts.cfg to alerts.cfg.work and copy an empty alerts.cfg.empty to alerts.cfg. 
If the file alerts.cfg is empty, there's no reason for Xymon to do any alerting.
After this certain time, we copy the original file alerts.cfg back in place.

For my opinion this is a bit easier to do than writing a DOWNTIME statement to all of your nodes that are configured in hosts.cfg

Regards
Christian
