Hey Shamrock, thanks for your reply!

Awesome, that did it!

I had to remove the 2nd "2>&1" that was right after the 'cat' Command in order to get its STDERR to be captured by the
array "COMMAND_OUTPUT"... But other then that it worked PERFECTLY..!

Final code to capture both Command's STDERR & STDOUT into an Array:
Code:
IFS="
"

declare -a COMMAND_OUTPUT=( $(exec 2>&1; cat "$SEND_FILE" | send_nsca $IPADDR -p 5667 -to 10 -d , -c $SEND_NSCA_CFG ; echo "EXIT_CODES=${PIPESTATUS[@]}") )

Thanks again everybody for all your suggestions!


Thanks Again Shamrock,
Matt
