The patch looks reversed?

In Opsview, if someone sets a downtime for the host, we use this
extcommand to set all the services in downtime too. We can't think of
a valid reason to not do that, so I agree that it should be available.

Could you add a test to check that CGI has the string re: "set
downtime for host and all services"? Maybe a test so that submitting
this command puts the data into the t/rw/nagios.cmd file

I'll then get it applied to CVS.
