.. that works great, doesn't it? Makes things a WHOLE lot cleaner.

Definately something to add to the Nagios FAQ (if it's not already there,
I honestly haven't looked)

I have: cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/servers/

cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/servers/ has .cfg files for each thing that I'm
monitoring. I thought about splitting it up even further but my network
really isn't that big & impressive. :-)
