Initscript bug in debian

[jan gregor]

Hello

I have just found and reported problem in initscript of nagios in debian
testing. It has this line in it:
 if /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios -F /var/cache/nagios/status.log
 -e 5 -C 'nagios' > /dev/null; then

When /var/cache/nagios/status.log does not exist (default configuration
on debian, it is in /var/log/nagios/status.log) it fails to check
whether nagios is running. This does nasty things when reloading config
files.

If anyone experienced hanging processes of nagios in testing after
running /etc/init.d/nagios reload, this was possibly be the problem.


Best regards

Jan Gregor
