[Nagiosplug-devel] Ping: I would expect Nagios to return -1, or 3 for "system14;UP;HARD;1;(No output!)"

[Lee Fitz]

I have a most perplexing couple of issues:
---- Nagios (ping plugin) appears to be returning '1' and this is causing an
erroneous system UP notification
- seems like is should be returning -1, or 3 = UNKNOWN which I
would assume would not translate to system UP

NOTE: I am using
define host {
check_interval 1
...
check_command check-host-alive
}

define command {
command_name check-host-alive
command_line ....libexec/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w

}

Any suggestions would be appreciated
