script to nofity admins of scheduled downtime

[Ewan Leith]

It's a good idea, but short of editting the nagios code to fire off an event
when it happens, the only way I can think of is to do some automated task
every 5 minutes or so and do a grep for DOWNTIME in
/usr/local/nagios/var/downtime.log - then you'd have the task of figuring
out if you'd already sent a notification about what's in there.

You could grep nagios.log instead for the start and stop messages, but since
it's pretty big I'd want to stay out of there.

The attached perl script is ugly and nasty and definitely buggy, but it does
work kinda. Run it every so often from a cronjob and it should work. maybe
:)
