Return code 127 means that the plugin was not found in the location
specified in the command definition. Nagios is apparently trying to
execute /check_ping and not /path/to/check_ping (usually
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping). There are four primary
possibilities --
	1) your command definition does not utilize the $USER1$ macro in
the command_line i.e. 'command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H ...'
	2) you have manually specified the incorrect path in the
command_line i.e. 'command line  /check_ping -H ...'
	3) $USER1$ is not set to the correct plugins path in
resource.cfg
	4) you have not included resource.cfg as a resource_file in
nagios.cfg
