check_fping

[Subhendu Ghosh]

There is no -p option for check_fping ....

Usage: check_fping <host_address>

Options:
-H, --hostname=HOST
   Name or IP Address of host to ping (IP Address bypasses name lookup,
   reducing system load)
-w, --warning=THRESHOLD
   warning threshold pair
-c, --critical=THRESHOLD
   critical threshold pair
-b, --bytes=INTEGER
   Size of ICMP packet (default: 56)
-n, --number=INTEGER
   Number of ICMP packets to send (default: 1)
-v, --verbose
   Show details for command-line debugging (do not use with nagios server)
-h, --help
   Print this help screen
-V, --version
   Print version information
THRESHOLD is <rta>,<pl>% where <rta> is the round trip average travel
time (ms) which triggers a WARNING or CRITICAL state, and <pl> is the
percentage of packet loss to trigger an alarm state.
