Read the docs, which is where the first (well, second
really) sentence in
the original reply comes from. I'll spell it out for you
again, but as you
didn't read it the first time, you probably won't this time

Nagios doesn't stop checking things that are in scheduled
downtime. It does
however stop *notifying* you about things that are in
scheduled downtime.
