This isn't weird. That's how it should work. kill -9 sends an uncatchable, compulsory, kill signal (SIGKILL) to the process giving it no time to clean up before exiting. The default kill signal is SIGTERM, which can be caught and handled (or ignored) by the process. Restarting Nagios from the web interface, doesn't terminate and restart the process (the PID doesn't change), only re-initializes it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forrester recently released a report on the Return on Investment (ROI) of Google Apps.
