You cannot just use any "ping" tool - it has to be xymonping- or
fping-compatible. The default Solaris "ping" is not.

Xymon expects a ping tool that will accept a list of IP-adresses 
to check on stdin, and writes the result on stdout in the form
  172.16.10.100 is alive (0.03 ms)
or
  172.16.10.38 is unreachable
