Andreas, Thank you for your help and time. I had a little bit of trouble compiling your program on freebsd, what I had to do was move the " file_list *list = NULL; " line in main() to the top of the function. Anyway, I though that might be useful to you , or to someone else running fbsd. In any event, I ran it and now I have some output, and a core file. :] nagios# ./getnagioscfg nagios.cfg Entering /usr/local/nagios/etc/servers. 1 levels deep now Entering /usr/local/nagios/etc/servers/test_dir. 2 levels deep now returning to /usr/local/nagios/etc/servers returning to /usr/local/nagios/etc Entering /usr/local/nagios/etc/templates. 1 levels deep now returning to /usr/local/nagios/etc Segmentation fault (core dumped) nagios# ./getnagioscfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg Entering /usr/local/nagios/etc/servers. 1 levels deep now Entering /usr/local/nagios/etc/servers/test_dir. 2 levels deep now returning to /usr/local/nagios/etc/servers returning to /usr/local/nagios/etc Entering /usr/local/nagios/etc/templates. 1 levels deep now returning to /usr/local/nagios/etc Segmentation fault (core dumped) I have attached the core file to this email. Once again, I appreciate all of your help. best rgds, jbiskofski <div>On 6/10/05, Andreas Ericsson <<a href="mailto:ae@op5.se">ae@op5.se</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Demetri Mouratis wrote: > On Thu, 9 Jun 2005, Subhendu Ghosh wrote: > > >>On Thu, 9 Jun 2005, jbiskofski wrote: >> >> >>>gents, >>>Ive been having trouble getting nagios to recurse inside a cfg_dir >>>directive.

In Nagios 1.2, cfg_dir recursion is not > supported. He's using 2.0b3, so recursion is supposed to be supported. Mr. Original Poster; I've got a C program called getnagioscfg which is known to work according to docs on Linux and Solaris (Nagios won't recurse on solaris either). If you could try it with your nagios.cfg and see if it finds all the configuration files that nagios should (according to docs), you can give me a holler and I'll put priority on implementing it in the Nagios core.
