Multiple nagios monitors in one machine

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

I might be missing something here, but I'm reasonably certain that the
binaries don't have any pathnames to config files hardcoded.  Having said
that, the only reason I can see that this 3rd instance would fail, is that
the config file you're specifying on startup still has the pathname to the
'original' directory.  Try to grep through the config files for this 3rd
instance, for any occurrences of the 'original' directory.

Failing that, do a 'strings' command on each of the binaries and grep for
the 'original' directory.  I suspect you won't find the pathnames hardcoded.
:)

As you mention in another e-mail, I'd be surprised if the gd libraries can't
'support' 3 instances of Nagios.
