Do you have "!" between the componenets above?  My text email client 
doesn't see any.  Nagios expects "!" as a separator.

In the linux world - server reboot is a rare requirement.

Most conditions, send the Nagios daeom a HUP will cause it to re-read its

However if you are using features like state retention, and make changes 
to those parameters, you wil want to stop and start the nagios daemon.
