{bb} Ping (fping) Notifications

[Charlene Lis <charlene@buffalo.edu>]

We are running BB1.9e-btf on a sunblade1000 running solaris 9.

We have ping (fping) setup to run 4 successive pings if a server is 
unreachable.  I could be wrong, but the way I understand it is if ping 
is successful on any of those 4 tries it should not send out a 
notification.  Even if it fails on the first 3 tries and is only 
successfu on the 4th try.  The only way for a notification to go out is 
if ping fails 4 successive times.

In our case, a notification is being sent out if any of those 4 tries 
fails.  Even if it was successful one of those tries.  For example, a 
server fails the 1st ping test but is successful on the 2nd test.  The 
display page will stay green but a notification is sent that the 1st 
ping failed.  How can I setup bb to only page when all 4 successive 
pings to a server fail?  We only want to be notified if all 4 pings fail.

Thanks,
Charlene
