Package: nagios3 Version: 3.0.3-3 Severity: normal
Hello, I have a custom notification command - instead of sending e-mail it displays a pop-up window using xmessage. I used it for a few years with nagios 1.x. Now we try to migrate our config to nagios 3.x and found this bug: Nagios is waiting indefinitely for notification command to finish. This is not a problem when sending e-mails, as mail command usually exits quickly. But my xmessage notification sometimes does not exit quickly. (i.e. when I'm away and there's nobody to close the popup). I noticed that while nagios3 is waiting for notification to exit, it does not do any service checks, and eats all cpu! It does not care about setting notification_timeout=30. I let the popup open for more that 30 minutes and nagios was still waiting for it. After I closed the notification window, this line appeared in nagios.log: Warning: A system time change of 0d 0h 37m 28s (forwards in time) has been detected. Compensating... This apparently does not happen with nagios 1.x as I often had multiple popups on my desktop with and nagios was happily checking services further, and displaying new notifications for new problems or recoveries.
