check_disk plugin help

[Nathan Oyler]

You need to use check_nrpe to call the check_disk

./check_nrpe -H blah -c check_disk or in services.cfg

check_command                  check_nrpe!check_disk

Local plugins, like check_disk check_load check_swap need to be called
through check_nrpe.

And the limits are determined through the nrpe.cfg on the machine you
run it at.

If you do not have check_nrpe (it doesn't come by default), download it
and use that.

You'll need it installed on the machine you are going to as well. And
on. Chkconfig'd to.
