I must be missing out on something very basic. Here's what I have confirmed in my nagios.cfg : check_external_commands=1 command_check_interval=-1 command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd My permissions on the directory "/usr/local/nagios/var/rw" seem correct too: drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 4096 Dec 22 17:06 rw cat /etc/group shows that both the required users are a part of the correct group: nagcmd:x:1239:nagios,apache "locate nagios.cmd" returns a null showing that this file is not accidentally being created in a wrong location. getenforce gives "Disabled" so I guess it is not damn-SELINUX-once-more day yet! At this point I am stumped again! Any other checks I am missing out on? Ian, I did peruse the list postings from last month on this topic which is how I came up with these checks I outlined above. In case I am still missing the relevant instruction it'd be great if you could point me to the correct post that you might have in mind. Thanks again guys; and I apologize if I am missing something clearly basic! -- Rahul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
