Pgsql host list and check_ping

[Deborah Martin]

I believe if a .cfg file changes, nagios has to be restarted in order to
load the changes. 
With plugin changes, I believe it isn't necessary.

Thanks!!

I do not believe you have to restart.  I have added components to my
nagios configuration and it just took effect without any issues.  I
think that state retention might cause problems with this, but I am not
sure.  If it does, you could have nagios reread the configuration files
using '/etc/init.d/nagios reload'.   I am not too experienced in this
area, so I defer to other more experienced users here who may be able to
give you a better answer.

Janet,

I will be working on it today. When I get it done I will forward it to
you.

My question still remains. If the configs are rebuilt does nagios need
to be 
restarted?
