Can't locate nagios.lock file

[Hagen Deike]

Hi,

I had once the same problem.
Check you version of "su" if you have a switch -l. If not try this...

Look in the start script (/etc/init.d/nagios) and search for a row with the
following entry.

su -l $Nagios -c "touch $NagiosVar/nagios.log $NagiosSav"

Just remove the "-l"
If that doesn't help you will need a little deeper research into the script.

Regards,
Hagen Deike
