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

[Bret Goodfellow]

Okay, I removed the trailing "!" from the check_command statement.  I might also mention that the check_logs.pl works fine with all monitoring of remote systems.  I can also run check_logs.pl (as nagios) from the shell, and it works as well.  Here is the last part of the strace:

Maybe post the last 50 lines or so of the strace output...

Try leaving off the last '!'. That indicates to nagios that there is  
another $ARGx$ to follow but none is present. Perhaps you're tweaking  
a bug that doesn't know how to handle that properly. If it persists,  
try a more recent version of nagios (2.12 or 3.0.).
