Nagios-users Digest, Vol 26, Issue 32

[Tec. Felix D. Sanchez]

Yes, that's the strange part it keep refreshing with the old pid

If the Nagios is "up" and you run:
[nagios at satan ~/config/objects]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F
/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat -e 1 -C '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios'
//result
NAGIOS OK: 1 process, status log updated 11 seconds ago

If the Nagios is "down" and you run:
[nagios at satan ~/config/objects]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F
/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat -e 1 -C '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios'
//result
NAGIOS CRITICAL: Cannot open status log for reading!

Is the webpage still refreshing itself?
Did you enable the proper setting to monitor the status from the webpages?
In Nagios 2 the default setting is off as far as I can remember.
