The error message is realtively clear, as far as error messages go. It is trying to write to /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd but that directory doesn't exist. Either you need to create it (and make sure it's writeable by the Nagios user), or you need to fix your configuration to write to the correct place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
