Acknowledgements are reset once a service or host returns to OK status.

If you pass the option serviceprops to the status.cgi script, you can add a
filter to the services.  From cgiutils.h:

#define SERVICE_SCHEDULED_DOWNTIME      1
#define SERVICE_NO_SCHEDULED_DOWNTIME   2
#define SERVICE_STATE_ACKNOWLEDGED      4
#define SERVICE_STATE_UNACKNOWLEDGED    8
#define SERVICE_CHECKS_DISABLED         16
#define SERVICE_CHECKS_ENABLED          32
#define SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER_DISABLED  64
#define SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER_ENABLED   128
#define SERVICE_FLAP_DETECTION_ENABLED  256
#define SERVICE_FLAP_DETECTION_DISABLED 512
#define SERVICE_IS_FLAPPING             1024
#define SERVICE_IS_NOT_FLAPPING         2048
#define SERVICE_NOTIFICATIONS_DISABLED  4096
#define SERVICE_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED   8192
#define SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECKS_DISABLED 16384
#define SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECKS_ENABLED  32768
#define SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECK           65536
#define SERVICE_ACTIVE_CHECK            131072

Just add together the options you want.  Something similar exists for
hostproperties.  Therefore, if you do

/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=248&serviceprops=8202
&hostprops=8194

then you will get all services in warn, unknown or critical, where neither
the service nor its host is in scheduled downtime or has notifications
disabled, and the service problem has not been acknowledged.  If you add
'&noheader' to the end then you cal lose the big heading section and see
more alerts on the screen.

This is for Nagios 1.x, but probably is the same in Nagios 2.x.
