Hi,

the docs don’t make any remarks regarding the setting of downtimes for whole service groups, but the code has a function that seems to do exactly althoug it is not referenced anywhere in else in the code.

My Question is: am I holding the Module wrong or is this fumction not implemented in the functions of the modules?

Thanks in advance,  
Michael Gröning

It seems many of the functions in the module were not referenced nor made accessible.

There was talk in IRC about others adding the ‘hidden’ functionality to the module.
