I'm not sure if you got it right. As I understand it your nagios sends
the current check result back to itself, so it's obvious the state never
change.

If you want to do active monitoring you should use an active check, and
if you want to do passive monitoring the command should run on the
remote host (ex. from crontab) and use send_nsca to report back to
nagios (in that case you should have active checks disabled on the
service, and eventually freshness checking)

If you're trying to do something else then please explain.

Thanks,

Thomas
