If you can't install plugins on the Unix machine, you're pretty limited 
in what you'll be able to do. Even if you were to SSH in from the 
Windows box, there'd be nothing to run once you got there to check the 
local disk.

You're probably going to either need a plugin on the box somehow (i.e., 
in a user's home directory if not installed in a usual system location), 
or use some sort of remote check like SNMP.
