Checking configuration with restarting?

[Rob King]

Hey everyone,
    I know that you can verify the Nagios configuration files by calling 
Nagios with the "-v" flag. However, if there is an error in the 
configuration files, while the config check catches it, Nagios still 
restarts!

    Well, at least I think it restarts. The "Network Health Bars" all go 
to 0%, and I get "0 Hosts 0 Services", etc, etc.

    Is there any way to verify the configuration without restarting? I'd 
like to know because very soon we're going to have multiple people 
administering one Nagios setup, and I'd like for them to be forced to 
verify their configuration before restarting.

    Thanks all!

    Rob
