Change timeout alerts from CRITICAL to WARNING

[Nolan Martin]

I am just now getting around to trying to implement the workaround
Nathan suggested awhile back, and have been unsuccessful so far.

I modified the check_ping.c file, lines 119 through 122 to the
following:

	if (pl >= cpl || rta >= crta)
		result = STATE_CRITICAL;
	else if (pl >= wpl || rta >= wrta || rta < 0)
		result = STATE_WARNING;

Basically, I moved the rta < 0 statement from resulting in a CRITICAL
state to resulting in a WARNING state, assuming that that the rta < 0
statement is what is determining a timeout. 

I then recompiled the plugins and copied over the new check_ping
executable to libexec.  However, timeouts continue to generate CRITICAL
alerts, and not WARNING alerts.

Admittedly, I have limited development experience, particularly with C.
 Can you tell me if I am completely off base or just missing some steps?
 I would greatly appreciate the additional assistance.

To stop the spam of alerts I recompiled my plugins so that timeouts
were
warnings and not critical then setup my contacts to not get alerted on
service warnings.
