The "old command file problem". I have looked back in the threads and only found one message from <A href="mailto:todd.jones@weirslurry.com">todd.jones@weirslurry.com</A> with any similar problem, but I did not see a resolution. Nagios works fine, no problem if I run it from a command line. When I add it to init.d the external command file acts up. I get command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' the external command file may be missing.
