Don't remember, so here is a test done as root:

lab-nagios# ./check_ping -t 300 -H 172.18.3.138 -w 100,20% -c 500,100%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.08 ms
lab-nagios# ./check_ping -t 300 -H 172.18.3.138 -w 100,20% -c 500,60%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.08 ms
lab-nagios# 

Here is the test done as the user nagios:

su-2.05b$ ./check_ping -t 300 -H 172.18.3.138 -w 100,20% -c 500,100%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.08 ms
su-2.05b$ ./check_ping -t 300 -H 172.18.3.138 -w 100,20% -c 500,60%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.08 ms
su-2.05b$
