check_nt configurations/setup

[Bobby Bradshaw]

Thank you very much!  That worked.  Also, I was able to get
check_nt_MEMUSE working, too!  :)

That got the UPTIME to show, but when I try to run for CPULOAD,
USEDDISKSPACE and SERVICESTATE it gives me an error saying "missing -L
 parameters".  What is supposed to be supplied in the -L parameters of
the command "./check_nt -H (ip address) -v USEDDISKSPACE -p 1250 -l"
(also for cpuload and servicestate)???

Please advise.  Thanks in advance.
