Testing Notifications

[Nelson, Ben]

I have two little command definitions defined that allow me to forcefully
test failure or success for notifications.

define command{
        command_name    return_ok
        command_line    /path/to/some/bin/nagios_test ok
}
define command{
	  command_name	return_crit
	  command_line	/path/to/some/bin/nagios_test critical
}

'nagios_test' is a shell script:
<snip>
#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
    ok)
        exit 0
        ;;
    warning)
        exit 1
        ;;
    critical)
        exit 2
        ;;
    unknown)
        exit 3
        ;;
    dependant)
        exit 4
        ;;
    *)
        exit 3
esac
</snip>

Then, if I want to test notifications I just change the service definition
to use 'return_ok' or 'return_crit' for its' check_command.

Is there any way to test notifications that are configured?...I mean,
without unplugging the server to trigger them all.
