nagios plugin - it's a toggle. stop checking?

This is what Passive Checks are for, I do exactly what you describe here. My
backup sets the state to warning, a failure to finish would, or a caught exception
would either immediately trigger a notified critical, or trigger a notify on
critical as a result of the lack of freshness determined by the time period.

Either way, no active checks are done, and I am notified ni every situation.
