Conditional checks between different hours?

[Greg Pangrazio]

I have in the past used a wrapper script that took the different
inputs and issued the command differently based on the time of day.
The answer is that it looks the same to nagios but the return value
from the plugin (my wrapper) is different based on time of day.
Basically my script called the original command with different inputs
and passed what ever it got back to nagios.

I don't have any examples right now but I have done it in the past and
it worked fine.
