Multiple lines of data in Status field?

[Gerald Wichmann]

I once got nagios to show multiple lines in the status field. Not sure how
that happened though..somehow I was assigning the output of a command like
"wc -l *.log" to a variable like OUTPUT, then echo'ing that output as the
status for my little check script. In Nagios it showed up in the status
field as each file having it's own line.. I was surprised to see it but now
I can't recall how I got it to do that. Is there a trick to formatting the
output of a check script to show several lines?
