Do I

so
Yes, you do. The nagios program runs as user nagios so logically, any
programs that are called from nagios are run as that user.

'man sudoers' ;) The hand-holding approach is to --
- run 'visudo' as root
- at the end of the file add 'nagios ALL= NOPASSWD:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd'
- exit your editor
- test. Become the nagios user. If you're root, run 'su -
nagios' to become the nagios user. Type 'id' to verify that you are
indeed nagios, then run 'sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart' and verify
that httpd restarted.
- modify your event handler script to include 'sudo ' in front
of every occurrence of '/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd'

It's not being called that. I was just pointing out that nagios was
logging that it was running your event handler (described later in those
lines).
