nagios.cmd & SIGTERM

Thank you for your reply. In looking at Nagios cvs, I see that
close_command_file() is also called on line 2631 of utils.c from within
sighandler().  I guess my question is why it is closed within the
sighandler. The sighandler sets the sigshutdown flag which causes main()to
call close_command_file() as well.  It struck me as being out of place
within the sighandler since it was already taken care of elsewhere.

Thanks,
