Command Format:

Description:

Delays the next notification for a parciular service until ‘notification_time’. The ‘notification_time’ argument is specified in time_t format (seconds since the UNIX epoch). Note that this will only have an affect if the service stays in the same problem state that it is currently in. If the service changes to another state, a new notification may go out before the time you specify in the ‘notification_time’ argument.
