Hi Chris, great, that seems to work!
Thank you very much. Regards, Bernd -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Chris Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet am: Donnerstag, 20.

This probably depends on the order in which they are pinged. You could try modifying smokeping/lib/probes/FPing.pm, to add an extra parameter to the fping command time, to set the timeout. For example: my $pid = open3($inh,$outh,$errh, $self->{properties}{binary}, @bytes, '-C', $self->{cfg}{Database}{pings}, '-q','-B1','-i10','-r1','-t20000', @{$self->addresses}); In this case I have added '-t20000' to set the timeout to 20 seconds. Probably a 1 second timeout (-t1000) would work better for you. To support my number of hosts, I had to hack fping.pm to reduce the select time. I can explain more if anyone is interested.
