Scheduled notifications possible? API? Scheduled test of notification rules?

Hi,

I use some simple script as local check to generate a service that goes crit once a week. This service can be treated as any other and can be used in notification rules, we use it to test our SMS gateways. You might adjust this to your needs.

Regards,
Tom
