i think the easiest is to set up a notify method:

Method "MyMethod" {
   command: /home/me/serverdown.sh
   qtime: 0
}

and then in your notify: add MyScript

notify: mail:2135552323 at example.com MyMethod:foo

or, if you just want to execute the script for certain objects:
  Group "somegroup" {
    Group "special stuff" {
     notifyalso: MyMethod:foo
    }
  }

* where foo is some optional parameter you might want your script to get
