[Nagiosplug-devel] Check_ping

[wasik]

Hello,
I am using Nagios on Slackware 9.1 and Mandrake 10.0 and I found that
check_ping plugin does not correctly recognize ping statistics under certain
conditions (when there are errors present). I have made a simple patch for that.

I have also noticed that ping on these systems does not write anything to STDERR where check_ping expects to have error messages, so check_ping does not detect "Host unreachable" and similar.

Thanks for help,
Jan Wasserbauer
