monitor disk usage only for a specified fs type (NFS)?

[Babineau, Mike]

This is very clever - I had never thought to use an inline for loop to
get the job done.  It works flawlessly in my nrpe.cfg.  Thank you!

here is my trick for this:

check_disk -w 4% -c 1% $(for x in $(*grep -e nfs* < /proc/mounts |awk 
'{print $2}'); do echo -n " -p $x "; done)

the bold bit "grep -e nfs" is the bit to pay attention to. Of course 
this only works for linux but I like it and I only like running Linux so

there you go.

It's actually very easy to modify this if you have another OS, just 
change the "< /proc/mounts" bit to feed stdin from another mount listing

from some other coreutil or equivalent.

bash is great.
