force notification ?

[Joerg.Krueger at alcatel.de]

Is it possible to force a notification, e.g. by an external command, even
if the conditions for a notification are not met ?
I would like to generate a notification everytime I find a pattern in a
logfile containing a descriptive text regarding the log message. My idea
was to define a service which accepts passive check results. The  logfile
scanner submits the results as passive check results locally by an external
command or remotely by nsca.
This works in general, but only the first event leads to a notification.
All subsequent events will not be notified since no status transition took
place. You could fake this mechanism by sending an OK check result after
each WARNING or CRITICAL, but isn't there a smarter way ?

Mit freundlichen Gruessen/Best Regards
