$USER1$/negate "/path/to/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS -w xx -c yy"

Note - the output string on the command is going to be exactly the same as 
the output string of the actual plugin.  Negate will only change the 
return code of the plugin to trigger tha approriate warning.

Negate will swap CRITICAL and OK, and pass WARNING and UNKNOWN.

Negate will also return a WARNING is there was any output on the plugin's 
stderr (there should be none)
