Check New Host & Service added into Monitoring

[Rick Carter]

Actually I thought of further things I'd make such a cron job do (this could easily be a simple bash or perl script)...

- if the files have changed, check their times against the time nagios last restarted and warn if they are newer (as the changes aren't being picked up by the running nagios)
and
- run a config check and warn if restarting would fail due to errors.
