If you really must do that, then assuming the check is an active one, then it should be pretty trivial to run the plugin from cron and email you whatever based on the exit code. All that is done completely outside Nagios. -- Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE! Finally, a world-class log management solution at an even better price-free!

Just to toss another fly in the ointment, it's dangerous to test a service by examining what Windows thinks it's doing. Many times a service says it's "up" but is actually dead. It would be more reliable to write a plugin that would actually examine the service to see if it can/is actually working. For example, with a database, you can do a SELECT on a known quantity and compare the result to what it should be. What specific service are you trying to monitor?

Not entirely sure what you're trying to solve here? Generally it is good if you can get to a place where you trust your monitoring system. It should be telling you if something has broken, but if something continues to run well, the monitoring system should shut up and not bother you. If it stops on Friday evening, you should get an email immediately (or as soon as Nagios notices it...) If by "it stops" you mean "Nagios stops" then that's a separate problem - I have a secondary system that ONLY monitors my primary Nagios infrastructure. If the primary system fails, the secondary system emails me - well, pages me, my secondary, all of ProdOps, etc. TL;DR: No easy way to have an OK service automatically email. Nagios makes noise when things are broken, not when they're working. -- Mike Lindsey -- Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!

I think the problem is that you have 'n' set for the
execution_failure_criteria. That means the dependent services will
always be checked. Try setting this to 'c,u' instead (same as
notification_failure_critera)
From the documentation:

[Nagios-users] Notifications for Services that are "Up"
Hello, I am currently running Nagios 3.3.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 and everything is working great. I am monitoring 30 Windows servers with NSClient++, and that is working as well. Is it possible to receive a notification for a specific service that is in the "up" position? In other words, I would like to get a notification every 4 hours, confirming that a service is actually running. If it stops on Friday evening, I do not want to wait until Monday morning to find out it is not running. I would personally rather receive a message every four hours. Notifications are currently set up and working flawlessly, so I just need to know what I need to change in the config files to get this to work. Any help is appreciated.
