Re: Problem running check_ping

The problems u r experiencing are known and well documented, however.

1. To solve one of the ping issues without recompiling the ping binary
try this
mv /bin/ping /bin/ping2
vi /bin/ping
add the following lines to the new file
#!/bin/sh
/bin/ping2 -U $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8
Save and exit the file
Make it executable

2. check_ping problem
Why not use check_http instead

service[google]=Google Home
Page;0;24x7;3;5;1;panic-group;60;24x7;1;1;1;;"$USER1$/check_http -w 5 -c
10 www.google.com"

to test it

[netsaint@syd-netsaint libexec]$ ./check_http -w 5 -c 10 www.google.com
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 200 OK - 1 second response time
