I found swatch to be unreliable. Don't remember why, but I cooked up the
following perl script. It sends mail and is hardwired for a certain event,
but it should get you started. BTW you need gnu tail for this.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;
use strict;

$| = 1;

my $p;
open $p, "tail --follow=name /var/log/nagios/nagios.log |" or die "Cannot
open pipe: $!";

while (<$p>) {
    /Warning:.*The service could not be found/ and do {
        use Mail::Sendmail;

        my %mail = ( To      => '<munged>',
                     From    => 'nagioswatcher@<munged>',
                     Subject => 'WARNING: unknown service result',
                     Message => $_
                     );

        sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;
    };
}

Cheers,
