But the central server has a bunch as shown below.. even more when I first looked at it. I did a /etc/init.d/nagios stop and they all went away. None running. So I started nagios again and initially there was only 1.. but over time as you can see it seems to launch multiple ones. Is this unusual behavior? Any thoughts on what might cause it?<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> [root@dhcp-51-205 etc]# ps -ef | grep nag<o:p></o:p> nagios 19583 1 0 13:46 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19682 1 0 13:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19691 1 0 13:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19701 1 0 13:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19709 1 0 13:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19717 1 0 13:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19725 1 0 13:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19732 1 0 13:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19738 1 0 13:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19748 1 0 13:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19761 1 0 13:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19770 1 0 13:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19786 1 0 13:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19795 1 0 13:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19803 1 0 13:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19812 1 0 13:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19820 1 0 13:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19836 1 0 13:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19846 1 0 13:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19847 19583 0 13:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d<o:p></o:p> nagios 19848 19847 0 13:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_<o:p></o:p> nagios 19849 19848 0 13:51 ? 00:00:00 /bin/ping -n -U -c 1 10.1.82.21<o:p></o:p> root 19851 1655 0 13:51 pts/5 00:00:00 grep nag<o:p></o:p> [root@dhcp-51-205 etc]#<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> Gerald Wichmann<o:p></o:p> Senior Systems Development Engineer<o:p></o:p> Zantaz, Inc.<o:p></o:p> 925.598.3099 (w)<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> -----Original Message----- From: Russell Scibetti [mailto:russell@quadrix.com] Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 1:17 PM To: Gerald Wichmann Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] distributed server glitch? <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> First thing to check. Stop nagios and make sure that all nagios processes have been stopped. It almost sounds like you have multiple daemon's running, so you are getting mixed information from the CGI's.
