Event handlers don't fire on Acknowledgement. His workflow requires  
that the action be performed then, not when the hard state is  
initially reached.

It could be done as part of the notification command, checking for  
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT for this particular service. It's not as clean but  
does use existing functionality and extracts his special needs to his  
own scripts.
