I have found that since /etc/init.d/nagios is unavailable to the nagios
user since it requires root privs (in my paranoid world), I created a
simple script owned by nagios itself called "trigger-restart" based on
one of the samples which says:
# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the
RESTART_PROGRAM command
# to Nagios. Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.
now=$( ${DATE} +%s )
commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'
${PRINTF} "Requesting restart at [%lu]\n" ${now}
${PRINTF} "[%lu] RESTART_PROGRAM\n" ${now} > ${commandfile}
This gives me a reliable restart/reload without having to be worried
about zombies.
I have a "check" command done before this on the current config files to
make sure there's no surprises coming my way too, if it passes, it does
the restart.
