Problem scheduling downtime externally

[Tony Rice (trice)]

I'm trying to interface a database of upcoming downtimes to Nagios via
the SCHEDULE_AND_PROPAGATE_TRIGGERED_HOST_DOWNTIME external command.
However, writing to the nagios.cmd file just sits there and never
returns.  I'm wondering if it's a problem with the way the named pipe is
setup.  My nagios.cmd file looks like this:

% ls -la var/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw-rw-   1 nagios      nagios         0 Jun 25 08:03
var/rw/nagios.cmd

I've tried writing to this file from perl and a borne shell script with
similar results.  An advice?
