1. Create host/service notification command definitions that write the data
into a file.
2. Create a new contact with proper timeperiod (You might gave to define the
timeperiod definition as well), and use the above notification commands.
3. Write a weekly crontab script that reads the file, mail the report and
clear it for the next week.
