I've been working with Nagios and previously Netsaint for a few years 
now and have contributed some plugins myself. I do know how to use 
plugins, and believe it or not, I do know what to expect when I add --help.

If you like...

[root at gcclo77 libexec]# ./check_ping -H d3178oc1 -w 600.0,100% -c 
800.0,100% -p 5
/bin/ping -n -U -c 5 d3178oc1
Error: Could not interpret output from ping command

The very same problem. Funny that... As I said before: this error ONLY 
occurs when the host is down. So maybe I'm doing something right...
