nagios starting problem

[Bill Fears]

I have noticed that if nagios is not running and you try to stop ie you
thought is was running you will get the error
No lock file found in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock
as if the shutdown script is looking for the lock which would not be there
if not running
maybe the shutdown script should test if running first
