No, not by Nagios configuration. Nagios doesn't attempt to parse the
plugin text output, only the exit code so all CRITICAL states are
indistinguishable. You can however do that quite easily in an event
handler script. If you see that string in the plugin ouput
($SERVICEOUTPUT$ macro), then just exit the event handler.
