No.  PathPath is the path to the ping command, so in this case, it would
be /etc/backuppc/wolping.bsh -- not just the directory, which cannot be
executed.

This gets called by PingCmd, which in my case, is set to:
$pingPath -c 1 -w 3 $host

I note that Salik's script assumes that the host name is the third
argument, so I just altered the script.  You may want to alter the PingCmd
to suit the script you're using, or vice versa.
