service - to monitor or not to monitor

[Andrew Heacock]

External Command File Permissions

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/commandfile.html

I think this is the page you were looking for as I looked for it for a week.
Not sure why it didn't ship w/ the documentation... Or maybe I just didn't
find _that_ either.

 When I try to click on "disable monitoring of this service" to not monitor
 one I get this page:
  
 Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'
for
 update!
 The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be
 incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions. 
 An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.
  
  
 Now I know I read some spot in the docs on how to configure this but I
can't
 find it now. Can't find it in the online FAQ either. Ideally I'd like it so
 anyone can view the status of the page but only those I've created admin
 accounts for can schedule downtime and enable/disable service checks (i.e.
 modify nagios through the GUI). I apologize in advance for even asking this
 question as I know it's asked all the time. Just point me to the right page
 please :-)
