Just to be clear, I'm not looking at queueing large numbers of
messages, ideally just one.  It could be implemented as a duplicate
test with check_interval 7am-7:10am, but I'm not sure if that's best
either.

Problem is, it should only notify at 7am if the thing is still broken.
I'll eventually see a notification by mail to root, but if a 3am
problem resolves itself at 3:30, it'll just cause confusion if there's
a dynamic "sleep 4h" command sendings texts hours later.

Thanks,
Justin
