Hello,
I'm rather new to Zabbix in general, but learning quickly. I am aware of the escalation process with Actions in response to Triggers.
This is what I want to do as an Action sequence:
The reason I want to do it this way is that I do not want to set a hard-coded time limit on the first action (for example, what if I had to restart an entire machine or cluster? I can't know for sure how long that will take). I'd rather the first action return success/fail, which progresses to the second action on failure.
Is this functionality built into Zabbix and I'm just having trouble finding it, or is there perhaps another plugin of sorts that someone else has created that does this?

This is what I want to do as an Action sequence:
- Execute a remote command on the host, for example restarting a service like apache, AND return a value based on success of this step
- Contact the appropriate people via whatever media necessary based on the return value from the above step
