External Commands

[Patrick Hasenjager]

I have followed all instructions from the docs.

when I do an ls from the var directory rw shows as

drwxrws---     2 nagios   nagiocmd     4096  July 25 09:57 rw

when I do an ls on the rw directory is shows

prw-rw----      1 nagios   nagiocmd          0 Jul 25 09:57 nagios.cmd

Have you created the 'rw' directory with the proper permissions and
restarted nagios?
