You should probably consider making this a passive check.

Most standard plugins support a -t switch to specify a timeout. You'll
need to modify all your commands to specify that switch for the plugins
that support it. If the plugin doesn't honor the -t switch, ignores it,
fails to timeout or fails to exit for whatever reason, it will continue
to run until nagios aborts it at the 1 hour mark. This should be a rare
case though as plugins should run and end themselves in a timely manner
normally.
