I have something similar that needs to run twice a day.  I used time 
periods and a service template to control when it runs:

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name twicedaily
        alias           For Running 2x Daily
        monday          08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
        tuesday         08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
        wednesday       08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
        thursday        08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
        friday          08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
        saturday        08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
        sunday          08:40-09:00,19:50-20:10
        }

define service{
        name                          generic-twice-daily
        use                           generic-service
        normal_check_interval         30
        register                      0
        max_check_attempts            1
        check_period                  twicedaily
        }

All checks using this template kick off at 8:40 & 19:50.  Since 
normal_check_interval is greater than the time period windows, it will 
only run once per window.

If there's a better way to do it, I'd like to know as well.
