check_ping $ARG1$ not passing

[Kirk Patton]

I figured out my check_ping issue. :-)

It turned out I had it defined twice.  Once as a service, and once
as a host check.  The service checks were setup up properly, while the
host checks were not...

That is why it was working one half of the time.

Thanks
for responding.
