Hmmm ...

Well, assuming that your command definition got pasted correctly, it 
looks like there's a typo in your command.  It should be "-t 45", not "t 
45".  So I'd guess that perhaps the plugin is getting messed up by the 
typo and never parsing the "-p 1" parm, and so still issuing 5 pings? 
Just a guess though.
