Hmm ... I'm not sure I understand that question, sorry.
There should be nothing during a cmuExport that shuts down or restarts eth0.
Unless you shut it down manually. In which case Active Monitor might restart
it eventually.

Yes, through a cronjob. So you could just stop CRONd:
/etc/init.d/crond stop

If you want to prevent that email comes in during the cmuExport and/or
migrations or that the MySQL database changes:
Stop the relevant services during the cmuExport:
/etc/init.d/crond stop
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/xinetd stop
/etc/init.d/dovecot stop
/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
/etc/init.d/mysqld stop
That leaves you with SSH, CCEd and AdmServ, which you need for the export. But
Sendmail, FTP, Apache, Dovecot and MySQL will be "dead". And the stopped CRONd
service makes sure that Active Monitor doesn't restart the stopped services
every 15 minutes.
