Leave active checks enabled but set a check_period of none (a standard
timeperiod definition).

Sounds like a job for cfengine or the like _but_, if this were a
recurring task, a custom plugin that scp'd the file then reported
success or failure using plugin guidelines might do. Set that as the
check_command in a service definition assigned to all members of the
hostgroup. Kind of like using a fork to eat ice cream though. It'll
work, but not as good as a spoon.
