I know that. However, I always run the command with the -v immediately after
making changes. After I have verified the changes work, then I restart Nagios.
But, I guess the old adage "There is more than one way to skin a cat" can
apply here, yes? :)

I am curious here...
If all you are doing is restarting Nagios, why not just use:
/etc/init.d/nagios restart
Instead of all the other commands and parameters?
Running nagios -v nagios.cfg haves Nagios verify the configuration, this is
best practice because otherwise you risk a typo stopping your monitoring for
the time it takes for you to correct the configuration :-)

Hello Assaf
Sorry, for ambiguous expression.
Word "Commit", I used in the meaning of executing the following command,
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
/etc/init.d/nagios restart
Tip: don't use restart when you just want Nagios to load new configuration.Your
init script should handle reload instead, which will send a HUP signal to
Nagios. This means that Nagios doesn't stop and start back up, it only re-reads
the configuration files.
So, for your specific problem, I think you'd be fine by simply using this
instead:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
/etc/init.d/nagios reload
And yes. After the above command, the notification that was been occuring every
24hours before then
suddenly stopped. So, I doubted the restart procedure if this is doing
something wrond.
Check your retention settings in nagios.cfg, especially
retention_update_interval and retain_state_information.
