Use ulimit -a to find the max processes a user is allowed to run.  When
you hit the problem, something like ps axfwwwwww | grep nagios | wc -l
to find out how many processes nagios is running.  Your ps may need
different options to get a full process list with wide output.  Depending
on what you have your nagios doing and where it lives, you may need to
twiddle the grep to catch everything.
