# Disk volume (% free)
command[check_nwstat_vol_p]=@libexecdir@/check_nwstat -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v VPF$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
# Disk volume (KB free)
command[check_nwstat_vol_k]=@libexecdir@/check_nwstat -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v VKF$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$


Usage in service definition:

check_command check_nwstat_vol_p!sys!10!5

The $ARGx$ values are provided after the command name and separated by "!"
