is root in the nagiocmd group?

the test for existence in the nagios startup script for nagios.cmd is not
suid nagios, so root cannot remove, etc, the file if it is not in the group

  Try:

  Stopping nagios if you managed to get it started (i'm guessing not);
  if it exists, rm nagios.cmd
  start nagios using /path-to-nagios/bin/nagios
/path-to-nagios/etc/nagios.cfg;
  stop nagios using favourite method;
  start nagios using /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios start

  hth,

  p.s. there should be more in the archives.  i have seen this a couple
times over the last few months.

    I am having a problem that I can not seem to fix.  The "old command file
problem".  I have looked back in the threads and only found one message from
todd.jones at weirslurry.com with any similar problem, but I did not see a
resolution.  Nagios works fine, no problem if I run it from a command line.
When I add it to init.d the external command file acts up.  I get command
file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' the external command file may be
missing.  The rights are:



    drwxrwsrwx    2 nagios    nagiocmd     4096  Sep 20  12:16 .

    drwxrwxr-x    6 nagios    nagiocmd     4096  Sep 23  07:21 ..

    prw-rw----    1 nagios    nagiocmd        0  Sep 20  12:16 nagios.cmd



    if anyone has any ideas please let me know... I can not afford much more
rum...



    mike
