Nagios as Cron (fwd)

Just to clarify, on this point I am looking for recommendations on how to 
monitor events that occur just once a day. Log rotation is just an 
example; there are other events (nightly shutdown of the application, 
other maintenance activies). 

Thanks,

Sorry, I should have said that I want to monitor that the log rotation
script (and other nightly maintenance jobs) worked properly. I could have
it send a passive alert or write a plugin to check that it did what it was
supposed to do.  Which is more appropriate?
