We've got a bug in Nagios's `ping` command format detection: |

It's easy to reproduce by taking down your "lo" interface, or by |

filtering all icmp packets in iptables. |

Fortunately, you can override the auto-detection by passing it a magic |
| 9 |
string, and that works around the bug: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
--with-ping-command="/bin/ping -n -U -w %d -c %d %s" |
| 12 |
--with-ping6-command="/bin/ping6 -n -U -w %d -c %d %s" |
| 13 |

Those are the formats and executable locations that get detected on my |
| 15 |
machine. Can anyone think of a case where hard-coding these (using |
| 16 |
$ROOT) would backfire on me? |
