[Xymon] Conn Alert after one missed packet

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").
