Problem scheduling downtime externally

[Richard Quintin]

I had a similar problem and just switched to using the cmd.cgi to get
it done.  Attached is a simple daemon I wrote until I can get around
to writing a proper one.  You can take a look at it to get an example
of how to use cmd.cgi.  If you decide you want to use the script
itself, you'll need to make modifications for your environment and be
sure to heed the warning.
