Nagios won't kill "longrunning" checks properly

[Sand Philipp]

Hi,

I've got a problem with some "longrunners", which really critically affekt my nagios server when you look at the load.
I configured the service_check_timeout to 200seconds, because I got one check against an HSG Controller, which last so long.
But some other service checks are still running longer than those 200secs and nagios doesn't kill them.
What can I do, to tell nagios to kill a process when the service_check_timeout doesn't work?
It's pretty annoying to kill the processes by hand each time :)

Thanks in advance,
Philipp

BTW, I'm using Nagios 2.0a1 and Fedora Core 2, the service which bothers me the most is the check_win_eventlog service...
