<html><body> Hello, I've found this sequence of what nagios does with event handler and status file: - host/service check finds state change, and calls event handler command - event handler command does its processing, and either finishes or is killed if runs longer than the nagios event handler timeout - status.log is updated Is there any way to get the status file updated before the event handler is called? Thanks for any help you can provide. _____________________ Sean McKell "Be noble! and the nobleness that lies in other men, sleeping but never dead, will rise in majesty to meet thine own." - James Russell Lowell _____________________ </body></html>
