This is what nagios displays when there is a problem
stern;DISK;UNKNOWN;SOFT;1;DISK OK - free space:
executing the command direclty, as
ssh stern /apps/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 15% -c 8% -e -X proc -X
tmpfs -X devpts -X iso9660 -X usbdevfs && echo $?
gives:
DISK OK - free space:| /=18888MB;27399;29656;0;32235
/boot=19MB;167;181;0;197 /u1=1782MB;29283;31694;0;34451
