why edit the cfg?
Anyone who is a contact for the host/service should be able to schedule a
downtime. Alternatively a script to submit an external command the
submits the following:
SCHEDULE_SVC_DOWNTIME;host;service_name;start epoch;end epoch;fixed=1
otherwise=0;duration (sec);contact name;comment
SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;host;service_name;start epoch;end epoch;fixed=1
otherwise=0;duration (sec);contact name;comment
