have to kill nagios 2x to kill it.

[Andreas Ericsson]

This issue has to do with threads being stuck in uninterruptable IO 
(waiting for input from IPC pipes). The proper way to handle it is to do 
something like this

send_term_to_nagios
seconds=0
while [ nagios_still_running ]; do
	seconds=$((seconds+1))
	[ $seconds -ge 10 ] && break
done
[ $seconds -ge 10 ] && send_kill_to_nagios
