ping_gw|perl:ping -H 192.0.2.1
ping_www|perl:ping -H www.example.org -P tcp --port 443 -w 50,20% -c 200,60%DESCRIPTION
Pings a host through Net::Ping. ICMP needs root, which sneck often is not when run by snmpd, so --protocol tcp or udp may be needed. For tcp, a refused connection still counts as a reply, as the host answered.
Each ping gets the timeout split between the packets.
