 You would be better off writing your own test than to try to do this with
the standard Xymon functions.  All you need to do is write a test that will
ping at one second intervals and record the results.  then, at the end of
your test you can scan the results and send a consolidated message to Xymon
for display.

One ping per second is very aggressive, and you are going to find that many
pings are dropped or delayed (deferred) due to normal network activity --
and that this is not a problem.
