It seems to me a much simpler solution is to have a very simple shell or perl script call check_nagios the page you with the results. Stick that in cro to run at 5 16 * * * and you're all set.

Now why didn't I think of that?
One thing though: it should only run once per day, and at 16:05 sharp.
How would you go about that?
define service{
normal_check_interval 1440
retry_check_interval 1440
}
and timeperiod
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name beepertest
alias Beeper Test
sunday 16:00-16:01
monday 16:00-16:01
tuesday 16:00-16:01
wednesday 16:00-16:01
thursday 16:00-16:01
friday 16:00-16:01
saturday 16:00-16:01
}
Will this work?
