nagios>./check_ping -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -w 750.0,10% -c 1000.0,50% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.19 ms

I can run it from the command line now.  However, the other night when I 
tried to do this same thing check_ping was core dumping (the web 
interface was displaying Return code of 139 is out of bounds).  The 
problem seems to be intermittent.
