Plugin issue

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

What's the command line of your check_ping command (as defined in Nagios?)

The correct syntax is:
/path/to/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H <ip address> -w 2000,25% -c 4000,50%

whereby <ip address> is the IP of the machine to ping, 2000 is the 
round-trip time (in ms) to generate a warning, 25% is the packet-loss 
amount to generate a warning, and ditto for the critical.

Also note there's a bug in the check_ping whereby if the "critical" 
parameters are incorrect, it says the error is with the "warning" 
parameters - so check that's not the case as well.  And you do need the 
percent signs ;)
