Multipme nagios process and lost "nagios.cmd"

[Gili Lapid]

Hi All
 
If I do "ps -efw | grep nadios" I can see one or more nagios process.
<snip>
[root at nagios etc]# ps -efw | grep "nagios"
nagios   11458     1  0 16:54 ?        00:00:01 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
-d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   20148     1  0 18:03 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
-d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   20149 20148  0 18:03 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 10.1.1.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60%
-p
nagios   20150 20149  0 18:03 ?        00:00:00 /bin/ping -n -U -c 5
10.1.1.1
<snap>
They all have 1 in the PPID (The parent ID). some time I can see only one,
but when there are more then one I can see the plugins are running too...
 
Also I do not have the nagios.cmd in the var/rw folder. I read the manual in
this link and did as I told (restart the apache & nagios :-) at the end...),
and nothing... 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/commandfile.html
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/commandfile.html> 
 
Also, if a plugin have a "time out" status the "Current Attempt" stay at 1
(if let say I have 1 out of 5) and not sending allerts...
The system is up and running for a month or so whiteout any problems,
suddenly this started...
