Looks like both apache and nagios belong to the nagiocmd group (aside from their own groups). Daniel, all I can suggest at this point is to start checking logfiles: for Apache, /var/log/messages, the Nagios logfiles. You might also want to try doing an strace. This might be overkill, but it seems Daniel has done The Right Things otherwise. Although... Daniel, could you indulge us, and competely shutdown both nagios and apache, do a ps to confirm that both are down (and "pkill -9" them if they aren't), then restart them and see if that doesn't help...? Food for thought. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Marc Powell [<A HREF="mailto:mpowell@ena.com">mailto:mpowell@ena.com</A>] > Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 7:52 AM > To: Daniel Jimenez; Nagios users list > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Issue w/External Commands > > > Sorry for the HTML previously.

Could you please post the output of: ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/rw ps -ef | grep httpd grep <user obtained from previous command> /etc/group Please try to avoid mailing in HTML.
