[Nagiosplug-help] iputils release ss020124 and check_ping

[Freddy Frouin]

Hi all,

	Does someone have successfuly hack the check_ping.c source to
	make it work with the ping version of package provided with
	iputils release ss020124 ? The differences are in the return
	syntax of the ping binary.

	I notice 2 changes that impact configure.in for plugins and
	netsaint/nagios engine and check_ping.c:

	Old iputils version (ss001110)
	5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
	round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 0.692/0.911/1.469/0.285 ms

	New one
	5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% loss, time 3998ms
	rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.202/0.233/0.264/0.027 ms

	I modified the configure.in successfuly, preventing it to
	block when checking ping syntax, yet I did not get success
	with check_ping.c, even if I modified the following lines
	to allow good sscanf extraction:

	sscanf (input_buffer, "%*d packets transmitted, %*d received, %d%% loss", &pl) == 1

	instead of
	sscanf (input_buffer, "%*d packets transmitted, %*d packets received, %d%% packet loss", &pl) == 1

	AND

	sscanf (input_buffer, "rtt min/avg/max/mdev = %*f/%f/%*f/%*f", &rta) == 1
	instead of
	sscanf (input_buffer, "round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = %*f/%f/%*f/%*f", &rta) == 1

	Does someone understand why it does not work with this modifications ?

Regards,		Freddy.
