Unfortunately - not really ... I guess you could modify your init script to run an strace on a quick start and stop, and redirect to file, but that may produce a lot of unwanted garbage/goop.

I see Dag Wiers' has a 3.0.6 RPM for EL5 out there but I cannot locate the srpm

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/dag/redhat/el5/i386/nagios-devel-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386.html

I'm not positive it would work, as I've moved most of my fedoras' to CentOS 5 - Fedoras release cycle is just a bit too fast for us, and I don't know how the versions line up with EL rpms anymore... :\
