%When you say 'return' a number, do you mean 'print' a number

%printed data. To pluginize your script you'd need to have it 
%accept arguments saying what a warning and criticla threshold 
%are, and exit with the appropriate code.

%Or, if you can't modify the script, you could write a wrapper 
%plugin that does the equivalent function.
