Is it possible to nest check_by_ssh commands?

[nemir nemiria]

I have a nagios server monitoring a unix server and use check_by_ssh to get 
results.  It works great.

I have recently added a second NIC to this server to allow it to see a few 
boxes in a small isolated network.  The nagios server can't see these boxes 
directly and I was thinking that I might be able to nest check_by_ssh to run 
some checks on things like disk and cpu.


>From the unix server I can run the following on a command line and get an 
appropriate response.

check_by_ssh -t 20 -H 192.168.166.2 -C "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk 
-w 10% -c 7% -p /"


If I try to encapsulate that into a nested check_by_ssh I get the following:

check_by_ssh -t 40 -H 172.30.30.216 -C "/usr/local/nagios/check_by_ssh -t 20 
\
-H 192.168.166.5 -C "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 7% -p 
/""
check_by_ssh: invalid option -- w
check_by_ssh: Unknown argument - (null)

Is this possible to do?

Or do I need to write some scripts to encapsulate the check_by_ssh command 
instead?

TIA

Nemir
