check_external_commands option

[Sxan]

Hey all, 
 
I have a question regarding the check_external_commands option in the nagios.cfg 
file. Basically, I tried to schedule some downtime, saw that I needed to have that 
option enabled, so I went into the nagios.cfg file and changed the 0 to a 1 for that line
like it is below:
 
check_external_commands=1
 
I saved the .cfg and now when I try and restart nagios, it won't start. I just get: 
 
honda:/usr/local/nagios/etc # sh /etc/init.d/nagios restart
Running configuration check...done
Stopping network monitor: nagios
Starting network monitor: nagios
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
honda:/usr/local/nagios/etc #
 
If I run the following 
..../nagios/etc/../bin/nagios -v nagios.cfg Everything checks out ok with just a couple warnings
that have been there before. Am I missing something else I should be doing? Like perhaps 
specifying somewhere in the configs who has the right to run external commands? Thanks. 
 
Jim
