Problems with nagios.cmd

[Robert S. Galloway]

Change the ownership of the "rw" directory to match the ownership that you
want the file to be created as or add "nobody" to the nagios group.

 

Good luck,

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problems with nagios.cmd

 

I seem to be having some problems with /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

 

My Nagios is operating perfectly, except that when I reboot or restart
Nagios, it deletes the nagios.cmd file and then builds it new upon restart.
Only problem is, it sets ownership and permissions on the file to
nagios/nagios 0644 -- and it's no longer writable.

 

So I have to re-set ownership on the file to "nobody" to allow the web
interface to be able to write to the file, and set permissions to 0777.
Then I can do my web functions just fine again because the file is writable
again by the webserver.

 

Any suggestions on how to properly set things up so I don't have to do this
each time the machine or nagios is restarted?
