You want an event handler.  I haven't tried running something to fix 
anything, but I do send events to a database which works great.  It let 
me create a different status page for the NOC, which is great to see up 
and running on the wall monitor.

(From the doc...)

Event handlers are optional commands that are executed whenever a host 
or service state change occurs. An obvious use for event handlers 
(especially with services) is the ability for Nagios to proactively fix 
problems before anyone is notified. Another potential use for event 
handlers might be to log service or host events to an external database.
