How can I set an alert if the ping response time is over a threshold?

Thanks Buchan;

I've added the options you've mentioned, although from the commandline I do
 not see any difference in its output.

It's not the output that's the issue is it? Isn't it the time that it takes to 
time out that is the problem.

[bgmilne at tiger ~]$ time -f %e fping -Ae 192.168.111.111
192.168.111.111 is unreachable
Command exited with non-zero status 1
4.08
[bgmilne at tiger ~]$ time -f %e fping -t50 -r2 -B1 -Ae 192.168.111.111
192.168.111.111 is unreachable
Command exited with non-zero status 1
0.15
