Re: {bb} bbgen 3.2 released

[Henrik Storner <henrik-bb@hswn.dk>]

"badconn" is one way of cutting down on ping alerts. I understood
Lars' question differently, though: How can you tweak the way fping
does the ping tests ?

The answer to that one is to add whatever fping options you like to
the FPING environment variable. Check out the fping man-page and
pick the options you like.
