Notifications when STATE is OK

[Julian_Grunnell at tdwh.co.uk]

Hi - I've had a request to perform a logfile check on a server 3 times a 
day, the requestor though has stated that they would like an email 
notification if the plugin runs successfully and as such the return code 
will be zero (0). To me this seems a little back to front - they want the 
email notification just for the comfort factor that something was ok in 
the early hours of the morning when no one is actually in the office to 
see the monitoring screens.

The plugin would for example run at 1:15am and check a logfile for a given 
string of text and if found return a 0 / OK STATE - if this happens we 
want an email notification to be sent out.

So does anyone know if this is possible or have done something like this 
and if so how was this done?

Thanks - Julian.
