Cached Configuration Settings

[Crusty Applesniffer]

I think you should reload nagios configuration (Stopping and restarting
nagios chapter in the nagios documentation)

Desired Action 			Command
Description 
Stop Nagios				/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios stop
This kills the Nagios process 
Restart Nagios			/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios restart
This kills the current Nagios process and then starts Nagios up again 
Reload Configuration Data 	/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload 	Sends a
SIGHUP to the Nagios process, causing it to flush its current
configuration data, 
	
reread the configuration files, and start monitoring again

Hello,

I was hoping you could help me with a problem I've been having.

When I was setting up the hosts.cfg file, I accidentally entered the
wrong IP address for a host.

I've since then corrected the IP, but every so often it seems that
Nagios is still trying to do a PING to the old address. If I go through
the web administration and click on "Service Detail", from time to time
it will show hosts as being down, and show the PING action as

/bin/ping -n -U -c 5 x.x.x.x

(x.x.x.x being the old ip address I entered first).

When I do a grep of the /usr/local/nagios folder to find the old IP
address, I don't find any instances of it *anywhere* in the nagios
folder (with the exception of the log files). Where is it getting the
old IP address from and how can I permanently remove it?

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Jordan
