Checking configuration with restarting?

[Shawn Rose]

Yours restarts when you do that eh?  Mine doesn't.  That is odd.

No idea from me :)

Hey everyone,
    Right, I knew about that. The issue is that when I do that, Nagios 
still restarts - and if there's an error in the configuration files, the

CGI's all show inaccurate information.

    Is there any way to test the configuration without restarting?

    Thanks,
    Rob
