Have you set up the nagios command group, and added the webserver user to that group? Then you would chown nagios.nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw and chmod g+x /usr/local/nagios/var/rw. Just take a close look to adapt it to your needs (nagios homedir, nagios user and nagios command group). -- Cheers, Rafael Costa <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:rafaelc@vegait.com.br">rafaelc@vegait.com.br</a> Curitiba / PR / Brasil Nelson Serafica escreveu: <blockquote cite="mid20060109132158.17612.qmail@web60412.mail.yahoo.com" type="cite"> <div id="RTEContent">Wheneve i tried to schedule downtime, it shows: <div class="errorMessage">Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update!</div> <div class="errorDescription">The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect.
