 1. You'll first need to create a schedule before using this script.
 2. Next use this tool create create arbitrary overrides in the schedule.

NOTES:
# You can specify the time zone by encoding date string with the time zone information 
# (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601), otherwise the default calendar time zone will be used

# SCHEDULES
# HOW TO FIND SCHEDULE IDs
# You can find your schedule IDs within PagerDuty’s website itself. 
# For instance, under the ‘On-Call Schedules’ tab, click on the schedule that you are interested in. 
# The URL for this schedule’s PagerDuty page will contain the rotation ID:
#   http://<subdomain>.pagerduty.com/schedules/<schedule_id>
schedule = "PCJI5RZ"

# USERS
# HOW TO FIND USER IDs
# You can find your user IDs within PagerDuty’s website itself. 
# For instance, under the ‘Users’ tab, click on the user that you are interested in. 
# The URL for this user’s PagerDuty page will contain the user ID:
# http://<subdomain>.pagerduty.com/users/<user_id>
USERS = {
  :tim => "P1DK143"
}

# Set the local time zone
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones for the list of supported values
Time.zone = "America/Los_Angeles"

# put Tim as on-call on every monday for the next six weeks
start_dt = Date.new(2012, 1, 2)

while counter < 6

  # start time 8am on Monday

  # end time 6pm on Monday
  end_time = Time.zone.local(monday.year, monday.month, monday.day, 18, 0, 0)
