The external commands to disable (and enable) host and service
notifications are two different commands with nagios. The web interface
reflects this.

Examples for using the web interface, and external commands generated.

* When you 'Disable notifications for this host', the external command
  sent is:

  [1356041839] EXTERNAL COMMAND: DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;foo.example.com

* When you 'Disable notifications for all services on this host', the
  external command sent is:

  [1356041925] EXTERNAL COMMAND: DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS;foo.example.com

* On the 'Disable notifications for all services on this host', there is
  a checkbox for 'Disable for host, too'. If this is checked, the
  external commands sent are:

  [1356041992] EXTERNAL COMMAND: DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS;foo.example.com
  [1356041992] EXTERNAL COMMAND: DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;foo.example.com

If you use the web interface, you could use the last example.

If you send external commands by hand, or program, you need to send one
DISABLE_ command for the for the host, and one for the services on the
host.
