check_cluster and service hardstate

[Gael Cheron]

It's a special business logic : distributed nagios, nagios business process,
no notification and watching nagvis 24/7.

Thank you for your suggestion about SERVICESTATETYPE, I was also thinking
about it.

thanks for your answer Marc.
regards,
Gael.
