Help - I am unable to get the NSClient++to restart services

[Jonathan Williams]

That is my guess as well, but the user Nagios is the owner of the file.
Also in my last email I did find and include this text from the
Nagios.log file:

Warning: Attempting to execute the command
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_mail.pl - n "Service Problem" -h
"jwilliamspc" -s "Critical"... (all the parameters are correct)...
jonathan.williams at us.g4s.com resulted in a return code of 126.  Make
sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually exists...  

I did some searching on error code 126 and the issue was permission, but
if Nagios is the owner how could that be?

Is there more? A line number or command referenced along with the  
error? If so, look at that line number in the script and see what it's  
trying to do. It's usually not difficult to determine what and why if  
you take a look. An educated guess, assuming you really mean to say  
that you're testing the script as the nagios user (as you should), is  
that the nagios user does not have permissions to execute /usr/sbin/ 
sendmail.
