Nitpicking or helpful tip, you decide: Nagios reloads config changes on
SIGHUP, you don't have to do a restart. A full restart can take a while on a
sufficiently sized installation so having to do one for every change would
indeed be a PITA, but I've never seen a reload take more than a few seconds.
