Make any new output change the state. It's fairly easy. You will want to 
turn off RECOVERY notifications, notification_interval and 
normal_check_interval to whatever your retry_check_interval is set to 
and set max_check_attempts to 1. It's hardly an optimal configuration, 
but should serve your purposes.
