Advanced Ping Script (ss_fping.php ms timeout issue.)

[rcaston]

I am using the Advanced Ping script which calls ss_fping.php, my issue is I am monitoring hosts which are over slow links, resulting in 100% loss failures when they are under heavy load. I want to use this script as more of a straight link up/down on loss, and so I want to give it a higher ms timeout.

I do not see any option for this in the script, so how could I add it in, I need a ms timeout value of around 1200 or so.

Please try adding
$ping->timeout = 200;
where the number is given in ms
R.
