[Nagiosplug-devel] RE: [Nagios-users] nagios plugins, check_ping and slackeare 8.1

[Thom Berre]

Hi!

I have the same problem on Slack 8.0. I have tried CVS,
nagiosplug-1.3-beta1, netsaint-plugins-1.2.9-2 and
netsaint-plugins-1.2.9-4.

Here are some output:

----------------------------
./configure
checking for ping... /bin/ping
configure: warning: unable to find usable ping syntax

./check_ping -H 10.0.0.3 -w 100,60% -c 200,100%  
You've got a big problem buddy! You need more args!!!

(even tried ;-)
./check_ping -H 10.0.0.3 -w 100,60%% -c 200,100%%  
You've got a big problem buddy! You need more args!!!

/bin/ping   
usage: ping [-LRdfnqrv] [-c count] [-i wait] [-l preload]
        [-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-t ttl] [-I interface address]
host

/bin/ping -n -c 5 10.0.0.3
PING 10.0.0.3 (10.0.0.3): 56 octets data
64 octets from 10.0.0.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=4.3 ms
64 octets from 10.0.0.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=3.0 ms
64 octets from 10.0.0.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=3.9 ms
64 octets from 10.0.0.3: icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=3.3 ms
64 octets from 10.0.0.3: icmp_seq=4 ttl=128 time=3.1 ms

--- 10.0.0.3 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 3.0/3.5/4.3 ms
---------------------------

I'm unfortuneatly not able to read anything from the code as I'm no
programmer. It it possible to get support for this flavour of ping?

could also you post the output of "ping -n -c 5 somehost"

The above looks like it is already supported..

we understand, but if the os vendors keep changing the options and
outout 
of ping, all we can do is keep up and fix as changes are reported.  We 
don't have access to all flavors of OS releases..
