Switch to /etc/rc.d/init.d and execute ./nagios reload and that will load your most recent changes. You must reload or restart nagios for the changes to take affect.

If it's the former.. that's a unix file permissions issue. Talk to your systems administrator about getting access to modify those files. If it's the latter.. Like most daemons, Nagios doesn't automatically notice changes to its configuration files. A restart will get it to reload. Some daemons will also re-read config files if they receive a sig HUP, without restarting. I'm not sure if Nagios is one of these or not. -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett@cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 <A HREF="http://www.cira.ca" TARGET="_blank">http://www.cira.ca</A> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. <A HREF="http://thinkgeek.com/sf" TARGET="_blank">http://thinkgeek.com/sf</A> _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <A HREF="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users" TARGET="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</A> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null </BODY> </HTML>
