check_icmp

[Bergström Sebastian]

Thanks! That truly answers most of my questions.

What is the reason that you made check_icmp a drop-in replacement for _ping? Is it that much better?

I know that check_ping has a weird problem of timing out everynow and then, even with increased host_check_timeout values...
