Summary: Plugin 1.4.0a1 -> /bin/ping does not terminate
Initial Comment:
On our system (Suse 8.1, Nagios 2.0a1, Plugins 1.4.0a1)
i've detected about 400+ /bin/ping processes going all to
only 2 IP-addresses (yes... only if the failure takes a
long time but our failures often takes the whole weekend
if the german Telekom cuts the DSL-Line of one of our
external offices...).
It seems that check_ping calls "/bin/ping -n -U -c 5
x.x.x.x" for checking. If pinged host is not
reacheable /bin/ping does not terminate for a very long
time (maybe until the failed host answers again).
check_ping terminates after 10 secs. This is also
documented in nagios web interface. But
corresponding /bin/ping process stays active.
Maybe it would help to pass "-w" (deadline) parameter
to /bin/ping to force a termination after some time in
such a case.
