question regarding nagios.cmd

[enediel gonzalez]

Hello

I'm using nagios Nagios 2.0b3 on debian sarge

Reviewing the scripts for recurrent downtime available on 
www.nagiosexchange.org I could insert some schedule downtime on nagios.

But even when I declared  downtimes on the near future, let's say in 2 
hours, I executed the scripts (manually), I checked on the nagios interface 
and I saw the new entries on nagios !perfect!,
I deleted all entries on the nagios interface after, and  (for testing 
purposes) I tried to execute the same process several times (in the same 
order described, inserting, deleting).

Nagios never had duplicated entries for scheduled downtimes, but came the 
moment when the same script used in my test did not modify the nagios 
configuration anymore.

specifically I was trying to execute downtime_job.pl  available on
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Downtimes.38.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=363

and properly configured
the script didn't returned me any error, no logs,neither nagios.

I checked the file permissions for nagios.cmd,
I executed the script using the root's account,
also
chmod 777 /usr/local/nagios/var/rw     (for testing purposes)


?Is something specific on nagios that doesn't allow me test this way?
I'll appreciate any answer

Thanks in advance
