Plugin time out

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

Hi Sean,

If it's a standard plugin (from nagios-plugins), you can normally use 
the "-t" option in your check command definition to set the timeout to 
300 seconds (i.e. 5 minutes.)
E.g. "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H [IP address] -w 1000,20% 
-c 2000,50% -t 300"

Andy.
