Subject: how to fix time out issue for ping service. too many up/down e-mails for a single node in 5 minutes time interval

I am currently receiving multiple e-mails(UP/DOWN)
from argus for the same node.
These E-mails are sent every minute.

Although the node is reachable argus sometimes markes it as down,
this could be because of a timeout issue or a ping is lost and so on

in the file /usr/local/lib/argus/Ping.pm
if i change the following line:

my $FPING_ARGS = " -r 3 -t 500 -e";

to

my $FPING_ARGS = " -r 10 -t 10000 -e";

would the change takes care of my problem?
