Service nagios start vs. nagios -d

[Goran Almvik]

Hi all,

Running Nagios 1.0 on a RedHat 8 box. After having created a plugin in 
Java and got it rocking I tried to move it to our live environment but 
immediately got a "plugin not found" (error 127). After a lot of 
investigation I found out that i depends on how nagios is started! Can 
anybody explain the difference between starting nagios with "service 
nagios start" and "/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg"? Starting it as a service makes it not 
find the plugin but when running as deamon everything works fine. What's 
the difference and why?! User/group: nagios/nagcmd
