Re: [Nagios-users] nagios starting problem

[Bill Fears]

I have noticed that if nagios is not running and you try to stop ie you thought is was running you will get the error
No lock file found in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios

.lock
as if the shutdown script is looking for the lock which would not be there if not running
maybe the shutdown script should test if running first

however I still *sometime* (not every time) error when stopping
nagios.

/etc/rc.d/rc.nagios stop
Stopping network monitor: nagios
Waiting for nagios to exit .head: cannot open
`/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock' for reading: No such file or

directory
    

Does this directory have read/write permissions for the user nagios?

HTH,
