checking unix load/disk space

[Jeff Scott]

I also fixed a very minor bug where the script didn't exit if the -e
parameter wasn't specified.  I just upload 4 new scripts to nagiosexchange.

Sorry,
Jeff

I'm very sorry...my bad.  I'm updating the usage information right now.  You
need to specify the "shell" to use with the "-e", so either "-e ssh" or "-e
rsh".

I think its something else. I think this has something to do with POSIX,
is that a wrong assumption.

Rajeev,
	The only thing I can think of is that you're using "blade1" --
which is 
set in the host_name variable for that host in your .cfg's.  I'm not 
convinced that when you run a plugin from the command line, it knows to 
look up what the actual IP/hostname is of blade1 in the cfg's.  I would 
try running the plugin from the command line with the actual IP/hostname

and see what happens.
