I found a way around this, but its not pretty:
Modify nagios-src/cgi/cmd.c to write to a flat file instead of the
command pipe:
int write_command_to_file(char *cmd){
FILE *fp;
struct stat statbuf;
/* bail out if the external command file doesn't exist */
if(stat("/path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe",&statbuf)){
if(content_type==WML_CONTENT)
printf("<p>Error: Could not stat() external
command file!</p>\n");
else{
printf("<P><DIV CLASS='errorMessage'>Error:
Could not stat() command file
'%s'!</DIV></P>\n","/path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe");
printf("<P><DIV CLASS='errorDescription'>");
printf("The external command file may be
missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or Nagios may not be checking
external commands.\n");
printf("</DIV></P>\n");
}
return ERROR;
}
/* open the command for writing (since this is a pipe, it will
really be appended) */
fp=fopen("/path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe","w");
if(fp==NULL){
if(content_type==WML_CONTENT)
printf("<p>Error: Could not open command file
for update!</p>\n");
else{
printf("<P><DIV CLASS='errorMessage'>Error:
Could not open command file '%s' for
update!</DIV></P>\n","/path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe");
printf("<P><DIV CLASS='errorDescription'>");
printf("The permissions on the external
command file and/or directory may be incorrect. Read the FAQs on how
to setup proper permissions.\n");
printf("</DIV></P>\n");
}
return ERROR;
}
Create a script like this:
# cat cmdpipe.sh
#!/bin/sh
/bin/true > /path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe
chown nagios:nagios /path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe
/usr/bin/tail -F /path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe > /path/to/var/spool/nagios.cmd &
Add it to your nagios start script:
start)
echo -en "\nStarting network monitor: nagios"
$NagiosBin -v $NagiosCfgFile > /dev/null 2>&1;
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
su - $NagiosUser -c "touch $NagiosVarDir/nagios.log
$NagiosRetentionFile"
rm -f $NagiosCommandFile
touch $NagiosRunFile
chown $NagiosUser:$NagiosGroup $NagiosRunFile
$NagiosBin -d $NagiosCfgFile
su - nagios -c "/path/to/cmdpipe.sh" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
