Again, very good advice thank you Philipp. And probably a very reasonable
way to do this if dynamic behaviour is needed. But in my case time-to-time
was meant as "every once in a while there is a particullar installation that
requires this". So statically doing this is ok in my case.

I'll continue with my replace-with-silence-file method for now. Thanks for
the input.
