It would have taken about a minute for you to Try And Find Out if it
worked by running it manually yourself. To answer, yes, it works. You
don't need both of them because they're identical.

Do you have multiple nagios daemons running? Looks like you do. Stop
nagios, verify that all processes are gone, kill any that might remain,
remove /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock if it still exists and restart
nagios.
