scheduled downtime

Something suggested to me (which I have yet to try) was to define a
timeperiod object which doesn't include the scheduled downtime.  That
probably won't work if your scheduled downtimes are not every week.

I don't know if there's a command-line tool which will schedule downtime for
you.  You should be able to figure out a URL which does the necessary form
submission for the host in question using the existing submission form.  You
can then fetch that URL using wget or other command-line URL fetcher.
