I'd recommend some really basic troubleshooting (which you may have done, but since you haven't mentioned what you've done so far, I'm starting at square one). Check your system logs, Nagios logs, and any other logs that may be related. Check your disk space. Check dmesg. Symptoms like you're describing could be the result of bad RAM, a full disk, or a corrupted/old/buggy copy of Nagios. Mentioning which version you're running, how it was installed, and, well, any specifics at all about your setup would be really helpful to someone trying to point you in the right direction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
