checking unix load/disk space

[HP Geeza]

I belive that would work...and i understand the syntax in that command.  
However that command will check the disk space on /, /tmp, /var, /boot on 
the localhost though?

The problem i am having is that how do i tell nagios to run a command such 
as:
check_disk -w 25% -c 10% -p / -p /tmp -p /var -p /boot

on a remote host and return values?..a simple ping command seems to work 
fine

Do i need to add a -h $HOSTNAME$ in the checkcommands file?....also just to 
make sure which client software should i be running on my remote host? i.e 
on windows i installed the PNSClient when i was using netsaint this seems to 
be working fine when switching to nagios....do i have to do something 
different for unix machines?
