If it says it's unrecognized, it may have removed it anyway, even
though part of the uninstall script failed. 'rpm -q nagios' to verify
if it's there or not.

The service command will only work for things that deposit the
appropriate files in /etc/init.d/. Basically it usually only works if
the program was installed via rpm, though that's more of a usage thing
and not a rule.

Not to be rude, but you should REALLY consider reading the RHEL docs
for sysadmins if you're going to be running rhel. There's a vast
difference between being able to build / configure software and being
able to admin a system. Some of the "Best Practice" type docs would do
you a world of good. It doesn't matter what distro you run, you need
to learn the particulars of that distribution to be able to fully
utilize it.
