I guess the problem here is in what I'm trying to do. I want the status
to be OK/Green if the service is unavailable. Down is its normal state
and Up is abnormal; even a Yellow/WARNING is acceptible.

If I create a service and call it "MUMBLE", use negate with check_http
or check_tcp and a port, when the service check is run I get a CRITICAL
and a page; service timed out.
