Warning: Monitoring process may not be running!

[Scott Zawalski]

Michael,

    You need to edit your string that is at the end of your check_nagios 
definition. When you do a ps aux | grep nagios and see the process make 
sure you are also the user that nagios is running as. This user could 
possibly see the process being listed differently then say if you were 
root and did ps aux | grep nagios. I suggest you su nagios (if nagios is 
the user) then get the check_nagios command to work properly.

I am getting the warning that Monitoring process may not be running, I checked the FAQ's, and did exactly what is listed, but it still will not work. I can run the the check at a command line and it says all is well, plus until I rebooted the nagios server yesterday it worked properly. Please help I'm at my wits end.
