problem with new kernel

[Dwan Norwood]

The new version of the kernel changes the way that daemonized processes are display with ps.  Now the appear to be enclosed in [].  E.g.,

lp         877     1  0 17:52 ?        00:00:00 [lpd]
nobody     972   949  0 17:52 ?        00:00:00 [httpd]

In the past ps would show the nagios process as:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d

Now it is displayed as: [nagios]

Example:
nagios    1102     1  0 17:52 ?        00:00:00 [nagios]

Your check_nagios command (in the cgi.cfg) looks for the process string returned from ps.
Your current configuration probably looks like this:

nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 30 '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios'

So, change the configuration entry to look like this:

nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 30 '[nagios]'
