thoughts about event handlers

[Neil]

I read the event handler section in the Nagios documentation. It looks cool. 
Here is what I am thinking on how I want to implement event handlers. Let 
say I want to check http port 80. 

Steps:
1. use check_tcp to check port 80
2. If connection is refused, have the event handler get executed which calls 
check_nrpe to check if httpd is running
3. If httpd is running, it's possible that port 80 was accidentally modified 
in the firewall(of course, very remote) 

What I am saying here is that, with event handlers, we can be very sure that 
a service is really in a RUNNING STATE or in a STOPPED state. 

Am I correct guys? 

Thanks. 

Neil
