I would expect Nagios to return -1, or 3 for "system14;UP;HARD;1;(No output!)"

I have a most perplexing couple of issues:
----  Nagios 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 
6000.0,80% -c 15000.0,100% -p 1 -t 20
}

Any suggestions would be appreciated
