nrpe sudo issues on a remote box

[Robert Bilbrey]

I modified the example http-restart script to use sudo to restart coldfusion 
and apache after they have been down hard twice. The event triggers on the 
nagios box and the nrpe daemon executes the script. It kills apache and 
coldfusion, but fails to restart apache (w/o a corrosponding error), 
coldfusion restarts. The really flaky thing is that if I su to nrpe and run 
the script, it runs as it should, both services stop and restart. 

The only differnece in the secure log between both methods of invocation is 
that when the daemon does it, there is no tty entry. 

relevant sudoer config:
Cmnd_Alias      R  = /etc/init.d/httpd start,/etc/init.d/httpd 
stop,/etc/init.d/httpd restart,/usr/sbin/httpd,/etc/init.d/coldfusion 
stop,/etc/init.d/coldfusion start,/usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/http-restart 

nrpe ALL=  NOPASSWD: R

So can anyone enlighten me to what I have missed ?
Thanks, Bob
