Summary: check_ping depends on iputils-ping
Initial Comment:
The following Bugreport we got against our debian package:
Hi,
it seems that the nagios related packages need an ping command available.
They choose iputils-ping, which is rather linux specific.
Could be possible to switch (at least on non-linux)
to inetutils-ping (already available) or fping (modulo #555398 available).
It will help to kfreebsd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64 and hurd architectures.
Thanks for considering it.
You can track the bugreport via
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555532
check_ping could maybe rewritten/patched to use liboping [1]?
Thanks and kind regards, Jan.

Message:
I'm getting this twice, since configure is issueing "/bin/sh
./config.status --recheck". That should be unrelated to the issue.
The configure arguments are:
NP_LIBEXEC:=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins
./configure \
--host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) \
--build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) \
--prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--libexecdir=${NP_LIBEXEC} \
--with-perl=/usr/bin/perl \
--with-openssl=/usr \
--with-pgsql=/usr \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-proc-loadavg=/proc/loadavg \
--with-ps-command="/bin/ps axwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss
pcpu etime comm args'" \
--with-ps-format="%s %d %d %d %d %d %f %s %s %n" \
--with-ps-cols=10 \
--with-ps-varlist="procstat,&procuid,&procpid,&procppid,&procvsz,&procrss,&procpcpu,procetime,procprog,&pos"
\
--with-ping-command="/bin/ping -n -c %d %s" \
--with-ping6-command="/bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s" \
--with-nslookup-command="/usr/bin/nslookup -sil" \
--with-uptime-command="/usr/bin/uptime" \
--with-rpcinfo-command="/usr/bin/rpcinfo" \
--with-smbclient-command="/usr/bin/smbclient" \
--with-snmpget-command="/usr/bin/snmpget" \
--with-snmpgetnext-command="/usr/bin/snmpgetnext" \
--with-qstat-command="/usr/bin/quakestat" \
--with-fping-command="/usr/bin/fping" \
--with-ssh-command="/usr/bin/ssh" \
--with-mailq-command="/usr/bin/mailq" \
--with-proc-meminfo="/proc/meminfo" \
--with-dig-command="/usr/bin/dig" \
--with-apt-get-command="/usr/bin/apt-get" \
--disable-rpath
Which fails with this at runtime. Working is installing inetutils-ping at
build time and dropping --with-ping* from configure.
With defined ping commands, in config.h I have:
#define PING6_COMMAND "/bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s"
#define PING6_PACKETS_FIRST 1
#define PING_COMMAND "/bin/ping -n -c %d %s"
#define PING_HAS_TIMEOUT 1
#define PING_PACKETS_FIRST 1
Anyways ... I get also with your latest patch:
# LANG=C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping 127.0.0.1 -w 2,20% -c 5,30%
Segmentation fault
Without defining the ping commands and inetutils-ping installed, I get:
#define PING6_COMMAND "/bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s"
#define PING6_PACKETS_FIRST 1
#define PING_COMMAND "/bin/ping -n -c %d %s"
/* #undef PING_HAS_TIMEOUT */
#define PING_PACKETS_FIRST 1
# LANG=C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping 127.0.0.1 -w 2,20% -c 5,30%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00
ms|rta=0.000000ms;2.000000;5.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;20;30;0

Message:
Nevermind - the output you sent is ok...
So are you really getting this twice (I don't, wondering if it may be
related to your issue)?
checking for ICMP ping syntax... (command-line) /bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s
checking for ICMPv6 ping syntax... (command-line) /bin/ping -n -c %d %s
Please check config.h and tell me what you have defined for:
- PING6_COMMAND
- PING6_PACKETS_FIRST
- PING_COMMAND
- PING_HAS_TIMEOUT
- PING_PACKETS_FIRST
Also I figured I should also change it for ping6, I'll attach an updated
patch.

I'll double check... So what are the configure arguments in both cases?

[ Proxying response from Jan... ]
When autodetecting with inetutils-ping installed on buildtime all works
fine
Defining the commands (like the once when autodetected) and inetutils-ping
having not installed when building gives me a segfault on runtime
inetutils-ping installed on buildtime/autodetect:
waja at packaging:~/debian-builds/nagios-plugins/trunk$ grep "ping syntax"
../build-area/nagios-plugins_1.4.14-1~pc4_i386.build
checking for ICMP ping syntax... /bin/ping -n -c %d %s
checking for ICMPv6 ping syntax... /bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s
checking for ICMP ping syntax... /bin/ping -n -c %d %s
checking for ICMPv6 ping syntax... /bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s
Exectution works fine.
inetutils-ping removed on buildtime/command defined:
waja at packaging:~/debian-builds/nagios-plugins/trunk$ grep "ping syntax"
../build-area/nagios-plugins_1.4.14-1_i386.build
checking for ICMP ping syntax... (command-line) /bin/ping -n -c %d %s

Gotchya. --with-ping[6]-command expected three arguments - two numeric and
one string. I try to detect it now (attached patch) - will go upstream it
it works for you...

Unfortunately I have. :( Maybe you can have a look:
normal debian package - using iputils-ping and compile following flags:
--with-ping-command="/bin/ping -n -U -w %d -c %d %s" \
--with-ping6-command="/bin/ping6 -n -U -w %d -c %d %s" \
sid:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping 127.0.0.1 -w 2,20% -c 5,30%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms|
rta=0.000000ms;2.000000;5.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;20;30;0
Okay ... thats fine, like always.
----
pc1 - using iputils-ping and following compile flags:
--with-ping-command="/bin/ping -n -c %d %s" \
--with-ping6-command="/bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s" \
sid:/tmp# LANG=C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping 127.0.0.1 -w 2,20% -c
5,30%
Speicherzugriffsfehler
Okay ... here are just the ping commands wrong
----
pc2 - using iputils-ping and without specific compile flags (iputils-ping
installed at compile time), but:
checking for ICMP ping syntax... /bin/ping -n -U -w %d -c %d %s
checking for ICMPv6 ping syntax... /bin/ping6 -n -U -w %d -c %d %s
sid:/tmp# LANG=C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping 127.0.0.1 -w 2,20% -c
5,30%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms|
rta=0.000000ms;2.000000;5.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;20;30;0
Thats also fine, the commands are autodetected.
----
pc3 - using inetutils-ping and without specific compile flags
(inetutils-ping
installed at compile time), but:
checking for ICMP ping syntax... /bin/ping -n -c %d %s
checking for ICMPv6 ping syntax... /bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s
sid:/tmp# LANG=C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping 127.0.0.1 -w 2,20% -c

rta=0.000000ms;2.000000;5.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;20;30;0
Looks great, command are autodetected and inetutils-ping works
----
pc4 - using inetutils-ping and the following compile flags (inetutils-ping
NOT installed at compile time):
--with-ping6-command="/bin/ping6 -n -c %d %s" \
--with-ping-command="/bin/ping -n -c %d %s" \
sid:/tmp# LANG=C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping 127.0.0.1 -w 2,20% -c
5,30%
Speicherzugriffsfehler
This is the point I don't get. I'm using the same commands like the once
when
they where autodetected, but check_ping segfaults .... I'm missing
something?
Thanks for your help, Jan.

Message:
Normally configure decides which ping command and syntax to use, so it
really depend on which packages you have installed. You can force the
command to use with --with-ping-command=SYNTAX and
--with-ping6-command=SYNTAX.
An easy way to find the syntax it to look at a generated config.h when
only the wanted ping commands are available. Search for #define
PING_COMMAND and #define PING6_COMMAND.
Let me know if you have any problem with specific ping variants.
