Command execution on Cisco routers

[Jeffrey lang]

Try using expect tool for writing the communications script.  It does
expect/reject matching in input from the remote system, so you can do
some good error handling.  You can call expect from the plug you will
need to write to handle the nagios interface.  You might just be able to
call the expect script directly from nagios, thou i haven't tried.
