Can't be done. Extended output can't be submitted to the command
pipe. Use merlin if you want to connect multiple nagios pollers

You'll find some basic info at

and code at http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios/merlin.git;a=summary

Enjoy

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
