I would think of this as more of a policy question than a technical one. If a large number of hosts and services are going down often enough for you to need a batch processing script to trigger nagios to recognize down time, perhaps your monitoring plan could be altered? You can define a check time period that only watches for critical states when the hosts are expected to be online. You can also change which services are checked for the group of hosts that have a high amount of maintenance periods.
