You'll probably want to *not* set your notification interval to zero, 
and come up with a custom notification command to do what you want 
(i.e., check if that value has changed, and don't send anything if it 
hasn't).

Naguios generally doesn't care about plugin output; it just looks at the 
result code.  No result code change means, as far as Nagios is 
concerned, nothing has changed. One warning's no different from any 
other as far as the notification logic goes.
