A profiles configuration allows a time window to be defined of when the profile can run during the day.
What I could use is a variation of this. I need to specify when the profile must not run. This is not a daily task however, so the above feature does not suit. Because some servers are routinely off-lined, for weekly maintenance and backups, communications to these servers should be postponed, until after the maintenance window. These blackouts are weekly in my profiles, but bi-weekly and monthly are also common in parts of my environment.
Currently, I receive a blast of emails detailing connection errors during these maintenance periods.
