[seanius at seanius.net: Re: [Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#339366: After update, Nagios runs, but no status]

[sean finney]

hey folks,

i guess the list doesn't like being cc'd, so i'll forward the
message directly.  executive summary: the nagios
daemon doesn't cope very well when status.log is on a full
partition.

that seems fairly reasonable.  i don't have the time to look into the
matter myself, but would be more than willing to accept a patch.  i will
also forward the matter upstream to the nagios development mailing list.
