This timeperiod includes zero seconds. Nagios can't run a check like
that. If you want it to be run at 11:00 sharp, you schedule it with
cron. If you can live with the check being a couple of minutes late,
you create a timeperiod containing

   11:00-11:05

or something similar.

Because when its scheduleentry comes around to the right time, the
right time has already passed.

It's not an issue. It's supposed to work like that.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
