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").
