See the bug report which was sent to the nocmon mailing list for further details. Added trap to prevent a subsequent instance of servchk from wiping out the temporary html output file while a previous instance is still running.
System now sends a few pings and flags the host as down only if ALL pings fail.
This tracking number can be used by Network Operations technicians to maintain a database of outages and resolutions. Added an array for when the hosts.dat is read. This allows the status display to show the hosts in the same order as they are read from the hosts.dat file. This way you don't have to modify the source to be able to check pings. This parameter is also prompted for in the Configure script.
