Monitor specific HTTP page response times

[jcoppedge]

I found a post regarding using echoping to monitor page response time - however the script didn't allow you to specify pages to monitor, so I set off to create http_ping.pl that will take as input the domain and page to monitor - however Cacti simply gives partial result errors. The perl script and snippets from the log file are below. It seems there is simply no result - but running the script from command line all works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cacti version 0.86g - CENT OS 4

http_ping.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl

@ARGV == 2 or die "Syntax : http_ping.pl <HOST> <URI>\n";

$HOST = $ARGV[0];
$URI = $ARGV[1];

($Min,$Max,$Average) = (`echoping -n 2 -h $URI $HOST` =~ m/Min.*(\d+\.\d+).*\nMax.*(\d+\.\d+).*\nAverage.*(\d+\.\d+)/);

print $Average;

cacti.log:
11/29/2005 12:29:02 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[9] DS[137] WARNING: Result from CMD not valid. Partial Result:

Although there were a couple of issues - the main problem ended up being that the perl script when executed did not have the full path to echoping - for some reason when the poller ran from crontab, no path seems to be setup to /usr/local/bin - updating the echoping executable to include the full path finally resolved the issue.
