On FreeBSD running nagios server, (dunno about Linux) From
/usr/local/libexec/nagios  you'll see the plugins, or install them
from ports if you don't have them already.  For disk is check_disk or
check_local_disk, I don't have it in front of me right now.  from
there you can do in your config file.:

check_command   check_local_disk 

check_command   check_tcp!25   <--will monitor your SMTP service OR
check_command   check_SMTP    

Read the Nagios docs for syntax on choosing a disk slice and setting
the alert threshold.

Good Luck,
Bob
