Using two nagios servers...

[quanta]

  Try something like this:

#!/bin/sh

RETURN_STATUS=`/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <primary_host> -c 
check_nagios | awk -F: '{ print $1 }' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ $RETURN_STATUS != "OK" ]; then
     sed -i 's/enable_notifications=0/enable_notifications=1/' 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
     sed -i 's/execute_service_checks=0/execute_service_checks=1/' 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
else
     sed -i 's/enable_notifications=1/enable_notifications=0/' 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
     sed -i 's/execute_service_checks=1/execute_service_checks=0/' 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
fi
sudo /etc/init.d/nagios reload

Note: you must add nagios user to sudoers group (without password prompt).
