Handling different states

[sandman42 at libero.it]

Hi all,

I've written a plugin that looks for number of record processed. If they are 
below the thresold, it writes to stdout 'All OK' and exit with code 0. If thet 
are above it writes "Too many records" and exits with code 2, and this event 
triggers a mail notification with Down as problem, and "Too many records" as 
info.

All is working fine.

What I'd need is to handle a third situation: no records processed. Assuming I 
may trigger the condition in the same script:

1) How can I notify Nagios of this event? Using a different exit code?
2) How can I modify Nagios notification, so I don't have a problem Down, but 
something else, say "Resource hog"?

Thanks
