check_ping strangeness

[Luke Fowler]

We have recently set up a Nagios instance on a redhat 9 box, and are 
seeing strange things from check_ping (which we are using as a host 
check).

Our service checks are all working fine, and returning output as expected.  
check_ping, however, is doing some strange things.  

Pings to devices that are pingable return the following in the status 
information field: "/bin/ping -n -U -c 1 10.0.1.1"  (the /bin/ping command 
that check_ping is calling, I assume).

However, running check_ping from the command line, with the same 
parameters, gives:

[luke at ratt libexec]$ ./check_ping -H 10.0.1.1 -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% 
-p 1
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 7.32 ms

The definition in checkcommands.cfg:

define command{
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% 
-c 5000.0,100% -p 1
        }


Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks!
