<div style="">I know that. However, I always run the command with the -v immediately after making changes. After I have verified the changes work, then I restart Nagios. But, I guess the old adage "There is more than one way to skin a cat" can apply here,
yes? :)<br>

I am curious here...<br>
<br>
If all you are doing is restarting Nagios, why not just use:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
/etc/init.d/nagios restart<br>
<br>
</div>
Instead of all the other commands and parameters?<br>

<div><br>
Running nagios -v nagios.cfg haves Nagios verify the configuration, this is best practice because otherwise you risk a typo stopping your monitoring for the time it takes for you to correct the configuration :-)<br>

Hello Assaf<br>
<br>
Sorry, for ambiguous expression.<br>
<br>
Word "Commit", I used in the meaning of executing the following command,<br>
<br>
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg<br>
/etc/init.d/nagios restart<br>
</div>
</div>

<div><br>
Tip: don't use restart when you just want Nagios to load new configuration.Your init script should handle reload instead, which will send a HUP signal to Nagios. This means that Nagios doesn't stop and start back up, it only re-reads the configuration files.<br>
<br>
So, for your specific problem, I think you'd be fine by simply using this instead:<br>
<br>
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg<br>
<div class="h5">/etc/init.d/nagios reload</div>
</div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div>
<div class="h5"><br>
And yes. After the above command, the notification that was been occuring every 24hours before then<br>
suddenly stopped. So, I doubted the restart procedure if this is doing something wrond.<br>

Check your retention settings in nagios.cfg, especially retention_update_interval and retain_state_information.
