You could try to write a wrapper (with bash/perl/...) for your check
script which calls the relevant command with a newline. Thereafter you
would define a check_command for your wrapper instead of the relevant
command itself.

But post some details on which command you want to be called on how you
have tried it 'til now, maybe there are other ways.
