It's as simple as defining a host or service notification command 
consisting of a .call file generating script.
The context it drops to will contain your festival routine.
You'll find the pertinent info on voip-info.org

You then give Nagios the proper contact host or service notification 
options so that voice won't nag you when everything's fine.

I admit I no longer have festival running.
It's a good idea at first but after you hear the voice one too many 
times for an error message you will find yourself switching to email/sms :)
I just keep the option activated for the possibility that my internet 
provider will fail, but I use my own recorded message now.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level, I'm really quite busy.
