Thanks for that, but even after navigating to the \usr\local\nagios\bin directory and switching to the nagios user I still get:
'bash: opsview_api: command not found' when I type opsview_api -f opsview.xml (opsview.xml is my config file) ls -l does however show -r-xr-x--- 1 nagios nagios 3009 29-05-14 02: 20 opsview_api I am a complete newbie to Linux so thanks for the help.
