check_nt diskusage query no status returned

[Tim Shouldice]

The order of the switches does not actually matter. The text of the output will always be 
the same, however the status code returned by the plugin should be 0 for ok, 1 for 
warning and 2 for error. To check that it is working, simply create a simple perl wrapper 
to see the return code

#!/usr/bin/perl
$ret=system(/usr/local/nagios/check_nt -H somehost -w 80 -c 90 -v USEDDISKSPACE -l C");
print "$ret\n";

You'll see the returned text of the command on one line and the return code on the other. 
The return code from Perl needs to be divided by 256. So you'll see 0 for OK, 256 for 
WARNING and 512 for CRITICAL.
