Timeperiod already been defined

Nagios works fine on RH7.3.  

Sounds like you have a definition for "worktime" perhaps in another config
file.

Please post the exact error message.

Later,
dean

List members,

  I am having no luck getting this going.  I have tried removing the second
entry, only to have nagios -v complain about the first entry already being
defined.  I did a grep on all of my config files and the timeperiods only
show up in timeperiods.cfg once each.  I have tried changing the timeperiod
names and I have tried retyping the config file from scratch and still get
the same problem...  Could someone look at my config file and tell me if
there is anything wrong?  I built my config file according to the
documentation, so I wouldnt think that there is a problem.  Is there a
problem compiling nagios with gcc that comes with redhat 7.3?  I know there
have been intermittent problems with gcc 2.96, since it is actually redhat's
version and not supported by the gcc community, and also has caused problems
with compiling other programs... Has anyone gotten nagios to work on RH 7.3
at all?  Has anyone had a problem compiling nagios with gcc v3.2.x, as that
will probably be my next step?  Can nagios work under cygwin, so I can test
my config files at least?  Thanks for any help...

OK, solve one problem, get into another... While running nagios -v, I now
receive an error stating that timeperiod 'worktime' has already been
defined. And - Error: Could not register timeperiod 'worktime'.
Well, I have all timeperiods defined in one file, timeperiods.cfg, and
worktime and one other, 24x7, are the only ones defined.  Apparently, nagios
accepts the 24x7 definition, as I get an error on the second one.  I
searched through the archives, and noticed someone with a similar problem.
They recompiled the program and their problem was solved... Well, that didnt
work for me... Any suggestions on what else to check?  Thanks.

Nagios v1.0
