Erm... do you want to know how to use the above command or how to check 
for windows shares?

Rhe latter would be done with check_smb, for example.

Yes.
Two things.
First, perl warnings: the locale en_CA etc. are not supported by perl on 
your system. (probably because of the UTF-8 charset). You can avoid the 
warnings (note: these are not errors!) by manually setting the C locale 
or by installing the necessary perl stuff.

Second, the host you check does not have nfs version 2 and/or 3 vie udp. 
 From the subject, I guess that was to be expected, because a windows 
share is usually not exported via nfs but via smb.

If this is your problem, you should set up check_smb.
