regardless of why it doesn't work (which does sound weird), there is no benefit to pinging localhost. You couldn't even *try* to ping it if it were down. In localhost.pl, try $Conf {PingCmd} = '&{sub {0}}'; which is a simple way of saying $Conf {PingCmd} = '/bin/true'; except that it doesn't need a child process to figure out the value of true - Perl is perfectly capable of doing that itself without the result being in any way inferior. If your problem persists (or changes in nature), maybe at least we'll get a better indication of the cause (error message). In that case, please give more detail on your localhost.pl file and what your log files say.
