Not sure why it didn't ship w/ the documentation... Or maybe I just didn't find _that_ either. Andrew Heacock Network Administrator Diamond Chain Company (317) 613-2272 From: Gerald Wichmann <gwichman@za...> </mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2455148> <<...OLE_Obj...>> service - to monitor or not to monitor </mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2455148> 2002-11-14 11:54 When I try to click on "disable monitoring of this service" to not monitor one I get this page: Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update! The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions. An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing. Now I know I read some spot in the docs on how to configure this but I can't find it now. Can't find it in the online FAQ either. Ideally I'd like it so anyone can view the status of the page but only those I've created admin accounts for can schedule downtime and enable/disable service checks (i.e. modify nagios through the GUI). I apologize in advance for even asking this question as I know it's asked all the time. Just point me to the right page please :-) Gerald Wichmann Senior Systems Development Engineer Zantaz, Inc. 925.598.3099 (w) This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.
