[Nagiosplug-devel] check_ping plug-in

[Patrick Boucher]

Running nagios on RedHat 9.0 I noticed a bug with check_ping.

/bin/ping on RH9.0 outputs all messages on STDOUT and nothing on STDERR 
so checks for host unreachable and other error messages never come 
through and instead you get an UNKNOWN state instead.

Parsing of the ping output for errors should be moved to the STDOUT loop 
and I think the STDERR loop could be safely removed.
