Excuse me, I would write: "Plugin timed out..." howerver it is strange have
a "plugin time out" and to be able to ping froma command line.
I am using following command:
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c
5000.0,100% -p 5 -t 30
        }

About the freshness_threshold .. it is the same thing modify the
"freshness_check_interval" in nagios.cfg file? Actually is equal to 60.

Many many thanks

Marco
