plugin timeout

[Stephane]

Evan,

Most commands have their own timeout setting that defaults to 10
seconds. If you run the command with the "-h" switch you can see it
there:

$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -h
<snip>
-t, --timeout=INTEGER
   optional specified timeout in second (Default: 10)
<snip>

So you should add "-t 30" (for 30 seconds) to your line:
command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000,80% -c
5000,100% -p 1 -t 30

Hope that helps.
