nagios archives in var/archives

[Ben Clewett]

Maybe there is a bug in Nagios when it does log rotation:

	if (time == "11:59") rotate()

If you have reduced the time to 15s, it might be doing the above three 
to four times.  Wiping your good logs after the first attempt.  It would 
explain the time difference.

But thats only a guess...
