Do you mean "Not everyone uses init script"?

nagios 2.5 as I mentioned. not too old I think.
It does check on restart, but the difference is that nagios is stopped
so it can't start with the broken config, therefore it is no longer
running, whereas if I do a reload instead then nagios is still running
and I get the error checking but nagios is still up with the old config
until I fix the new config and do another reload. Nagios basically stays
up and keeps it's existing config if the new config doesn't pass the
pre-flight check.
