Re: [Bigsister-general] Monitoring windows servers - helpwith uxmon-net

[Ryan Stille <suppressed>]

Thanks David.  My DEFAULT and DESC lines are the same as yours.  I 
changed my disk line to be the same as yours, and it still doesn't 
work.  There must be something messed up on my machine.  I was hoping to 
find the actual command that bigsister uses to get the disk data, and 
try to run that manually to see if I could figure out the problem.  In 
the 'diskfree' perl file, I see the commands used to get linux disk 
information, but the windows portion of the script is a little more obscure.
