Someone recently had a similar problem, and discovered thar resource.cfg
was not rreadble by nagios.

Also, when you ran the command, was it as nagios? Some systems place
limits on who can execute ping, and nagios is typically confugured as a
non-priveleged user (it should be configured as such for security
reasons).

BTW, you later post was not needed, and the HTML should be avoided as
well. Waiting a few hours for an answer to appear on a weekend should
not be too much of a trial for you, especially given how much you have
paid for the support.
