[Xymon] Conn Alert after one missed packet

Hi,

No, I tried that, and "-r0" isn't supported.

I would prefer to stay with fping for the moment, and I'll take a closer look at the source. I'll try xymonping if I still don't get anywhere.

Thanks,

I know the default fping sends out 3 packets when if the conn request does not receive a reply after a set period.  Looking at the fping man page, I've changed the fping syntax to "fping -A -e -r1", but this will still send one additional ping packet before an alert is raised.

So "-r0" doesn't work?

Perhaps use xymonping instead (define FPING="xymonping --retries=0").
