corruption

[Andreas Ericsson]

Please don't hijack mailing list threads. Those of us who read
the list sorted by threads get highly annoyed by it and respond
far more curtly than we'd otherwise do.

That's the first (and only) warning, so I'll be polite this time
even though the behaviour grates on my very soul.

That's probably because the webinterface is showing the results from a
check that took place a few minutes ago. Nothing to worry about.

See above.

This is more worrying though.

Most likely you have multiple Nagios instances running. It's the usual
culprit behind such random corruption.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
