You need to remove the 4th argument if you are not using it

[root at nagios plugins]# ./check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p / -x
./check_disk: option requires an argument -- 'x'
Unknown argument
Usage:
  check_disk -w limit -c limit [-W limit] [-K limit] {-p path | -x device}
[-C] [-E] [-e] [-g group ] [-k] [-l] [-M] [-m] [-R path ] [-r path ]
[-t timeout] [-u unit] [-v] [-X type]
[root at nagios plugins]# ./check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /
