# nagios-downtime(1) -- Shortcut to scheduling fixed downtime in Nagios,
# because it's annoying to do with the web interface for large sets of hosts
# or services.
#
#     $ ndt <host>[/<service>] <start> <end> [optional comment]
#
# Good for for/while loops:
#
#   for hostname in hosta hostb hostc; do ndt "$hostname" ... ; done
#   while read -r hostname; do ndt "$hostname" ... ; done < downtime-hosts
#
# Assumes date(1) with +%s format and --date option (probably only GNU date).
