# This plugin uses df to gather filesystem statistics and check the percent  #
# used of inodes.  I've put a switch in here since i've got both aix and     #
# linux systems...adjust for your syntax's results.                          #
# Note: the percentages passed in MUST NOT have % after them                 #
