OK, so it sounds like you want to be able to have Nagios temporarily stop
managing the service check scheduling for this service, long enough for you to
inject some bogus results.  Seems like rescheduling the next active check
(SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK) would do the right thing as far as pushing the next
scheduled check into the future.  Or maybe you want to disable active checks
for the service (DISABLE_SVC_CHECK), run your simulation, and then re-enable
them...?
