Hi

The best way is to use nagios plugin: "check_nagios" from the web interface.

Check your config file from the "cgi.cfg" file.

This way, if nagios is stopped, we suppose that apache is still running, 
because it is a nagios problem. So you can see on the web interface that 
nagios is faulty !

But, if i remember, there is no way to send email by that way...
