doesn't work.

cela ne marche pas :-)

en fait, LC_NUMERIC seems to be sufficient, as long as LC_ALL is unset.

If I do :

  $ export LC_NUMERIC=POSIX
  $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H 134.59.53.14 -w 10,15% -c 15,20%
  
it fails.
  
but then :

  $ unset LC_ALL
  (here LC_NUMERIC is still defined to be POSIX since we're in the
   same session)
  $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H 134.59.53.14 -w 10,15% -c 15,20%
  
it works
