question about check_by_ssh

My nagiox box uses check_by_ssh to run a remote check_log script on a box, I have a tricky situation where I need to "generate" the log right before check_log is invoked.

This is the setup I have done:

On my local Nagios box, created a dummy shell script to invoke check_by_ssh twice, one to run the remote script to generate the log, and another to run check_log to check that log.

In my Nagios check commands, I call the dummy script, it first generates the log, waits 10 seconds and runs the check_log, both return:

nagios at van-nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_test
OK - check_by_ssh: Remote command '/home/nagios/plugins/check_appsrv' returned status 0
OK - no errors or warnings|app_production_lines=3 app_production_warnings=0 app_production_criticals=0 app_production_unknowns=0

Will there be issues with Nagios when a check script returns two status? First check will almost always return an OK, it's the 2nd run that I care about.
