Ping alive check thru nagios

[Marc Powell]

You must install the nagios-plugins. They're available via the downloads
page or at http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net.

Also, please do not post to this list in HTML formatted messages,
especially ones that include advertising loaded off of remote web
servers. It's very rude and for all we know you could be trying to take
advantage of a well publicized image exploit --
