reschedule service checks by host/servicegroup

I had a group of nrpe services go critical due to some network
problems. Once the network came back up, the higher priority checks
all recovered, while the lower priority checks that are only scheduled
to check a couple times a day still showed CRITICAL (and would have
for hours). With my understanding of how nagios works, that makes
perfect sense, but I found myself wishing there was a way to
reschedule those low priority services to re-check once the network
was back up. (they had already reached max_checks).

On a hostgroup or servicegroup when you click on the name part that's
in parentheses and you get that menu of stuff you can do to all the
machines in the host/servicegroup at once (extinfo.cgi)?
It would be great to be able to reschedule service checks for all the
services here or somehow force a re-check of all services in the
group.

I know, this probably could be pretty easily scripted via external
commands file, but sure would be a nice 3.0 feature!

Maybe there's some other way to tackle this like with dependencies or
something i'm not thinking of?
