Dear Maintainer, the current systemd service unit for Nagios 4
(/lib/systemd/system/nagios4.service) doesn't allow Nagios to create its PID
file because Nagios is not running in daemon mode (option -d is missing) and
Nagios (apparently) only creates its PID file ('lock_file' option in
/etc/nagios4/nagios.cfg) when it runs in daemon mode.
In addition, the default PID file name in the service unit
(PIDFile=/run/nagios4/nagios.pid) is different that the one in
/etc/nagios4/nagios.cfg (lock_file=/var/run/nagios4/nagios4.pid), so it might
be a good idea to fix that inconsistency as well.
Now, and just for reference, I've created the following systemd drop-in as a
workaround,
/etc/systemd/system/nagios4.service.d/10-fix-for-incorrect-pid-management.conf:
[Service]
ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c 'umask 022; pgrep nagios4 >
/var/run/nagios4/nagios4.pid'
PIDFile=/run/nagios4/nagios4.pid
But maybe that approach wouldn't be really appropriate for the fix and instead,
it would be preferred to run Nagios in daemon mode as you can see upstream.
