[Nagiosplug-help] Question with using the Check_Disk plugin on /var partition

[Medaugh, Scott]

In Code section 2, I ran the command (not through Nagios) with the "-p
/var" setting in the first position and it returned the correct
information.  Also, I tried my Nagios command with the -p as the last
parameter and come up with the same incorrect result.  If it was run
outside of Nagios with the -p option as the last option, it returned the
correct information as well.

As suggested in a previous thread today, you have to have
the -w/-c options *before* the -p option.
