I have been trying to get mrtg-ping-probe working, and have amended a
script (which I have copied below). However when I run the script, it seems
to work (i.e. creates a couple of HTML files and a log file) but after a
few seconds I get bad command of filename, but I have no idea what command
of file could be wrong. Any help would be appreciated. I attach the log
file created which seems to be wrong.

# Call the ping-probe.  You can include arguments to increase
#     the packet count or size.
#     Some ping programs try to map IP addresses to hostnames
#     (e.g. Solaris 2);  a DNS failure will cause the ping to
#     fail, so you might want to suppress address to hostname
#     mapping by passing an option to the pring program.  On
#     Solaris, the option is `-n', so you would add `-o -n' as
#     shown in the second line.
#     The third line also sets a timeout.  You want this if your
#     ping insist on receiving (not only sending) the given
#     number of pings.
