Just out of curiousity, are there any error messages in your logs that might narrow down what might be happening? :-) I am not sure if this will help or not, but I just did some digging around in the tomcat docs, and it seems that there is a different syntax for the connector that can be used.

A port is more or less like a cell phone. Most of us carry one for use, and likewise, each of us prefer to have our own. When we have to share them with others, the situation that it creates is somewhat awkward. The very same thing is true communications ports. First question - yes. The AR System

Why not circumvent the entire issue, and use popen and the existing ping binary? It's in stdio.h. That would eliminate the need for a shell script wrapper, allow for the development of a plugin within C, and make use of the existing ping binary which has already been designed to do the job...
