Force Hard State with Passive Checks

[Sapon, Dimitry]

Hi there,
 
I need to implement a certain logic into Nagios that I can't figure out
if it's possible. What I want to do is check processes running on
various boxes using the following logic when a non-OK state is returned:
 
Using active checks, I want Nagios to follow the standard logic,
changing into a SOFT state and upon the max_check_attempts reached,
going into a hard state.
 
With passive checks though, I would like to force Nagios into a HARD
state right away (so notifications are sent out immediately). I can't
figure out how to either by-pass the max_check_attempts, increment it to
the max so it switches states right away or force into into a hard state
right away. I looked into writing a script but I can't find any way to
pass that info back into Nagios either.
 
Does anyone know of a way that this can be achieved? Please let me know.

 
Thanks.
 
Regards,
Dimitry
