Nagios looping, causing hundreds of procs!

[Marc Powell]

How many checks are you doing? Are they coming in faster than nagios can
process them? How about your host-check-command? Remember that your
central server will try to execute the host-check-command for any
services that come in as critical. If it can't reach the device hosting
the service you may need to change your host-check-command for that
device on the central server. Additionally, try setting
command_check_interval=-1 in nagios.cfg. You might also want to increase
your status_update_interval (I've got mine set to 120 seconds).
