scheduling queue and stale service checks

[Wilhelm, John]

Hello Nagios Users,

I have noticed  when you restart Nagios or reload the configuration using
the init (/etc/init.d/nagios) script, the scheduling queue starts over from
the beginning. For example:

You have hosts A..Z configured with ten services on each host. 
Your service_interleave_factor is set to "s" and the bin/nagios -s
etc/nagios.cfg is giving a max_concurrent_check value of 5.
Nagios checks 5 services on each host.
You restart or reload Nagios, 
The scheduling queue reschedules the 5 services that already have been
checked before the reload instead of continuing where it last ended.

 I have noticed this causing stale service checks because the scheduling
queue does not retain state between restarts or reloads.   

Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there a setting(s) that I have
missed in the nagios.cfg?

Suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
