Checking host up without ping

[Taieb]

Hi,

Yes you can. If you have an other server running on it, example of http
server you can use the check_http command, and I think you should remove
the check_host_alive from the host config.
If your switch does not host any other services, take a look on the
check_fping command it may work :)
