Well. I do not have one because nagios is quite stable. But it might contain a check like: ps ax|egrep "^`cat /var/run/nagios.pid`" And verify is still is the nagios process. Other check might work just as well. > Do you kick it off from an rc file as well? Sure. Multiple Centos 4 system all running nagios from DAG's rpm packages. Everything except the actual nagios config files was a breeze to install.
