Some people are just so difficult to please!

I don't think there's anything in Nagios itself which will do that for you.

I would set up a different notification command which writes all out
of hours notifications overnight to a file, then have an ordinary cron
job which runs first thing each morning and sends the SMS message (or
sends a passive check to Nagios so it can send the message) if there
is anything in that file.

Alternatively, if you run NDO then you could script a plugin which
runs from cron each morning and does a query of the nagios MySQL
database to see if there were any notifications out of hours...

cheers,

Jim
