Daily "I'm OK" notification

[Antonio Grassi]

Maybe you can send the sms inside the check_daily.sh script. You can't 
use the notification logic (particularly, you can't use the service 
contacts configuration), but it's a very simple mechanism, done from 
inside the Nagios daemon. That's what I'm actually doing for a "I'm OK" 
notification. There is also the SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION external 
command, which could be useful (if you are using Nagios 3).

Regards,
Antonio
