Unplugging a box is, of course, unacceptable.  I'd argue that  
creating a dummy monitor with a 24 hr notification interval is, too  
(it's gross hackery, at best:  you'll always have that one monitor in  
a critical state--ick).

I think a better way is to make a cron job on your Nagios server that  
tells Nagios to send out a notification (I think this would be via  
the external commands file, but I can't be sure right now).
