Try downloading the new check_icmp and running it in host-check mode.
Do the following;
download http://devel.op5.se/oss/check_icmp-1.0.tar.gz
unpack and build (tar xvzf ....; make)
install -s -m 4755 check_icmp /usr/local/libexec/check_icmp
cd /usr/local/libexec/check_icmp
chmod 4755 check_icmp
ln -s check_icmp check_host
Then edit your misccommands.cfg to point to the check_host symlink
instead. This will cause check_icmp to run in host-check mode and return
OK upon any received packet, no matter the RTA or packet loss.
