Hi Marc,
I found it.
The time between reload and start writing that config file was almost
nothing, so after reloading - nagios had problems already reading this file.
It probably was by then already empty. So I inserted a sleep 1 between
reload & rewriting that config file and .....
..... no PENDING state anymore.
Even If you didn't find it, you helped me by getting things clear and thus
being myself able to recheck better.
Thanks. Have nice weekend.
Uwe
