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
