Multiple Nagios processes

[twebster at daksoft.com]

I have also had this problem.  When I issue /etc/init.d/nagios stop, it
sometime never stop all processes, so I have to kill the remain processes.

So, when I issue a restart, the nagios process will gradully increase in
number and worse yet, won't read  any new config changes in.

This is not normal behaviour - the number of nagios processes should vary
over time - but nevere consistently increase.  Expect for the main daemon
- all other processes should die after timeout.

Try restarting the whole process famliy - and take a look in the docs
about obssessing and reaping.
