That will capture anything after the first line of text but if you're  
looking for it as part of a host notification (or elsewhere it's not  
supported), you're not going to find it. That's what I meant by 'where/ 
how are you looking for it'.

Does $SERVICEOUTPUT$ capture the first line of output of your script?  
If not, you probably need to provide more specific detail about nagios  
version, how you're calling your plugin from nagios (command{}  
definition, etc) and specifically how it's providing it's output for  
nagios to capture. The assumption to this point is that nagios is  
calling the plugin directly. Other methods can yield different results.
