I still don't understand what is the intended behaviour of "host
disable" command, since it only disables the check for the first service
being listed in the show summary command. It seems to me that this might
be a bug since in the man page it says:
"host disable [name | id]
Disable a host. Treat it as though it were always down."
If the host is down, it implies that the services will be down as well.
