Good to hear. Do you know that you do not have to reload nagios to  
have it check the config? While nagios is running, you can execute - '/ 
path/to/nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg'. Using that you can perform a  
verification of current config, write new config, verify new config  
and then only reload once if it's all good. If bad, just copy back  
your original configs (no reload needed).
