Hrm, yeah, I guess I could call 'monit unmonitor' I just think stopping 
monitoring for this period of time seems overkill.  To me a system has 
these regular events that are nomal and repeatable but don't necessarily 
happen outside of specific times.  I'll see how my increase to 'if cpu 
usage (wait) > 20% for 3 cycles then aler' works and if that fails I'll 
give the 'monit unmonitor' idea a try.

Would be cool if monit could "learn" what normal was but I'll leave that 
kind of idea to much more complicated (and expensive!) systems. :)
