nagios.cmd & SIGTERM

[Ethan Galstad]

You can find the calls to open_command_file() and 
close_command_file() in main() in base/nagios.c.  There isn't really 
a need to delete and recreate the command file when Nagios shuts down 
and restarts - its just a carryover from a long time ago.  Nagios 2.0 
attempts to reuse an already existing command file when it starts up.
