WRONG STATUS

[Andy Shellam]

Also, in your check_ping command definition, you're requesting the host 
respond within 30ms to be classed as up and OK.

This seems awfully quick - personally I request 1000ms (1 second) to 
give it a fair amount of time to respond.  If the host/router/whatever 
is busy, it could take slightly longer than 30ms to reply, causing a 
warning (or longer than 60ms to be 'down'.)
