Nagios fails to start after adding 'check_logs.pl' service

[Bret Goodfellow]

I have started monitoring the nagios server (local checks), and all has
worked fine until I added a service to check the local logs.  When the
'check_local_logs' service is added, the startup of Nagios fails after
about 10 seconds.  I have also run 'strace' but am not sure how to
interpret.    

 

Thanks in advance,
