<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Update on this. I was little hasty in
saying that setting the max_concurrent_checks restrained the forking. I
see now that, even when the var is set at 10, I now have 29 nagios procs
running (my initial assumption that this var controlled forking is incorrect,
sorry):</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also to clarify, I have taken into account the
system being busy (it is). But after a weekend of unattended running,
there were 1968 nagios procs waiting for me this morning, which I am assuming
probably isn't normal :) Thanks again.</FONT></DIV>
