Re: [Nagios-users] Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'
Hi Daniel,
I am new to Nagios and I had the same problem with a new install of 3.0.1 on
RHES4.
The fix for me was to apply the rights to the rw directory instead of the
nagios.cmd file as the file gets recreated regularly and will loose any rights
you apply to it.

I upgrade follow this [1] guide, using:
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd
make all
make install
Previously I did not make changes in the users or groups. These are:
sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# id nagios
uid=1001(nagios) gid=1001(nagios) groups=1001(nagios),1002(nagcmd)
sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# id www-data
uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),1002(nagcmd)
In case it is of utility, after to run the 'configure', this is the
summary that I obtain:
*** Configuration summary for nagios 3.0.1 05-16-2008 ***:

Sounds like when you updated you compiled with a different user and/or group than your older version. There are at least a couple ways to fix this. One would be to recompile Nagios to use a group your webserver is a member of. Another would be to set the "rw" directory setgid www-data so new files created there have that as their group. For that to work, the nagios user would also need to be a member of www-data. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'
Hi! I've update the Nagios version from 3.0b5 to 3.0.1 stable. But re-scheduling a new check for a service I get: - Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update! The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions. An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing. - sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# ll total 0 prw-rw 1 nagios nagios 0 2008-05-18 10:38 nagios.cmd sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# id nagios uid=1001(nagios) gid=1001(nagios) groups=1001(nagios),1002(nagcmd) sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# id www-data uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),1002(nagcmd) The permissions are according to Ubuntu Quickstart. Changing the group of nagios.cmd to nagcmd I get rid of the problem. But restarting Nagios, the nagios.cmd permissions are reset to nagios:nagios. What can be the problem? Tnaks in advance.
