[Nagiosplug-help] how can i check root partition space of aremotehost

[Doctor Doo]

dear Ralph,
   
  My  check_disk2 command only outputs that - "the disk is /dev/hdb1 OK" but it does not show any details. actually, i want to know the free space of the "/ " partition of my remote host. 
   
  I would like to know the little modification which is required to make "check_disk1" or "check_disk2 " to show the status of the root partition of the remote host.
   
  please help
   
  regards,
  Towfique Hasan

but I think the check commands in nrpe.cfg must refer to actual
executables on the nrpe host, i.e. where the nrpe daemon is
running
stand-alone, or by (x)inetd, depending on your nrpe
configuration.
So if you do an

ls /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_local_disk

would most likely yield a "no such file or directory" error.

But doesn't your check_disk2 command definition, which looks ok,
satisfy your needs?

I think it would be helpful if you posted the command definition
for the check_disk from
the nrpe.cfg on your to be checked host.

I have made a little modification of the default configuration
file. i have copied "check_local_disk" command from the NAGIOS
host to the remote host's nrpe.cfg -

nrpe.cfg
