I'm still thinking about this - trouble is, if something is broken
with the script, you want to alert the user. If you use error codes
for signaling you are lost. Maybe you need a single script for each
decision?

Sounds a little bit 'hackish' ;-)

That's not necassary (at least for me), 'cos I have my own set of
shell scripts for funny stuff like calculating room numbers from
ports - that was fun ;-)))

But, I've attached my work this far as a patch, maybe you could have
a look at it? Because honestly, I want to have at least one night's
sleep over it before deploying it to security critical machines...

You just have the option -c checkfile (parameters are mac address
and ip address) and the output is appended to the mail.
