What is calling /usr/sbin/ping?

BillWDec 2 2013 — edited Dec 10 2013

Greetings,

I am running OEM 12.1.0.3.0 on RHEL x86_64. I am including an email sent by my 12.1.0.3.0 OMS. Host oracle-emrep1 is my OMS server, the repository is on a separate server and I believe the OMS was in fact restarted at the time reported in the email (this is another problem I am attempting to resolve also). What  find puzzling about this is the error -

emrep1.ucdavis.edu:3872/emd/main/.Cannot run program "/usr/sbin/ping": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory).

Indeed there is no /usr/sbin/ping, it is in fact at /bin/ping but I am told that that is the standard location on Linux, apparently /usr/sbin/ping is where it is found on Solaris. My question is how do I find out what is calling this and why it is calling ping from /usr/sbin rather than from /bin. It isn't really a major issue (at least I don't think so) but I would like to understand how I might track it down and fix it.

Email follows....
