Recurring downtime: necessary to restart nagios to reread the downtime.log?

[lhill at groupit.com]

I have a cronjob append a new downtime to the downtime.log and 
comments.log each night. Although the log is getting updated correctly, 
Nagios does not recognize the downtime until I restart the service. OTOH, 
it does reread the comment.log, so those messages get added to the 
comments list each night. I understand the need for restart to reread cfg 
files, but am I missing something concerning getting Nagios to reread the 
downtime.log?

Thanks,

Lance Hill
