Running eventhandlers at every checks

Well, if you want it to be robust you'll have to go a little further... 

What happens if Nagios, for whatever reason (like a plugin timeout) reports
the service as critical when it isn't?  Is the command you run to start
the service capable of correctly coping with the service being already
running? 

You also need to get your logic right so that it does the right thing
if the file is missing (which will be the case when you add a service
definition for a new host). 

But these are mere implementation details and are left as an exercise
for the reader. :)  The point is that you can creatively abuse quite a
lot of Nagios functionality to deal with special cases.
