nagios plugin - it's a toggle. stop checking?

[hymie!]

Greetings.

I have a time period defined thusly:
define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name bacula
        alias bacula
        tuesday 01:00-20:00
        wednesday 01:00-20:00
        thursday 01:00-20:00
        friday 01:00-20:00
        saturday 01:00-20:00
}

This works great.  However, this particular plugin could best be described
as a toggle.  It monitors a backup process.  It starts as "WARNING"
when the backup is waiting/running and becomes "OK" when the backups
completes.  At that point, there's no need to spend my time, cycles, or
network checking it.

So is there a way that I can tell my Nagios plugin "Now that you've got
an OK status, go to sleep and wake up when the time period starts again"?

I've been using "Adaptive Monitoring" to reset the "next check" time
with SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK, but that isn't doing quite what I want.
I really want a time period that runs from 1:00 until whenever the
status becomes OK.

Thanks.
