Running nagios -v nagios.cfg haves Nagios verify the configuration, this is
best practice because otherwise you risk a typo stopping your monitoring for
the time it takes for you to correct the configuration :-)

Tip: don't use restart when you just want Nagios to load new
configuration.Your init script should handle reload instead, which will send
a HUP signal to Nagios. This means that Nagios doesn't stop and start back
up, it only re-reads the configuration files.

So, for your specific problem, I think you'd be fine by simply using this
instead:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
/etc/init.d/nagios reload

Check your retention settings in nagios.cfg, especially
retention_update_interval and retain_state_information.
