Incorrect ping service warnings

[Thomas Guyot-Sionnest]

You should always use "killall -HUP nagios" so that Nagios perform a
graceful restart (and if you just want to shut it down, "killall nagios"
will be sufficient).

If you use "-9" Nagios may leave temporary files behind that you will have
to clean manually. You should only use "-9" as a last resort option (ex.
Nagios not responding to commands and normal kills)

If you use an init script, you should use preferably use it to
start/stop/restart Nagios.
