checking unix load/disk space

[admin at jpk236.com]

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.
