Poking around I noticed something.... I wonder if this is part of the problem:
linux:/usr/local/nagios # file etc/nagios.cfg etc/nagios.cfg: ASCII English text linux:/usr/local/nagios # file etc/misccommands.cfg etc/misccommands.cfg: ASCII English text, with very long lines linux:/usr/local/nagios # ___________________ Jeff Rutkowski Unix Administrator Ramapo College of NJ 505 Ramapo Valley Rd.

I've re-set the permissions, also copied it to a backup, removed the original file and moved the backup back into place and still getting the same error in the nagios.log file. The path is correct in the nagios.cfg file as well: # Misc commands (notification and event handler commands, etc) cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg I deleted and re-added the path in nagios.cfg, still no luck. Any ideas? ___________________ Jeff Rutkowski Unix Administrator Ramapo College of NJ 505 Ramapo Valley Rd.

Run your preflight as the nagios user, not root, since that's the user that reads the files. I'm going to guess that the nagios user can't read /usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg due to permissions. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys.
