I don't, actually.  Is that something I want?  Or something I want to make
sure isn't set?

Actually, I don't have it in my config file at all,

I added it, and Nagios choked on it -- I tried nonstatus and nonstate, and
neither was valid...

I do have use_retained_program_state=0 in my config, though.

I've stopped and started many times now...

I think it's the latter -- that it's not aware that it's supposed to run
it. Which is weird, but not utterly unbelievable.

I'll try setting it to something that should work, though this box does
NOTHING other than monitor and (theoretically) tell the master server
what's going on, so there are no working notification scripts on it (yet).
