Even easier is to have cron set an override.  You can use something like
the following.  It can be placed inside a service or a group.

        cron "0 13 * * 5" {
            func: override
            text: This server is overridden because there is no reason to
check non-production boxes on evenings and weekends.  The current override
is for the weekend.
            mode: manual
            expires: 219600
            quiet: no
        }
