Warning: Monitoring process may not be running! (take 2)

[Tom Gwilt]

Hi all,

I recently installed nagios 1.2 on a FreeBSD 5.3 box from the ports, along 
with the plugins, slifeed plugins, snmp plugins, and nagiostat.

I'm new to Nagios, but not to Unix, nor to config files - so I've spent 
the previous few days reading the documentation, writing the config files, 
and testing.

Everything seems to be well, execpt for the error referenced in the 
subject.

Here is some of the pertinent info:

cgi.cfg - nagios_check_command:
/usr/local/libexec/check_nagios /var/spool/nagios/status.sav 5 
'/usr/local/bin/nagios'

nagios.cfg - logfiles, etc.
log_file=/var/spool/nagios/nagios.log
status_file=/var/spool/nagios/status.log
command_file=/var/spool/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd

etc.

When checking the Process Status Information via the web interface, here 
is the message:

Check Command Output: 	Nagios problem: located 1 process, status log 
updated 1108752482 seconds ago

What's interesting is the update looks like it goes back to the epoch.

/var/spool/nagios/status.log and status.sav show 0 bytes. There is a lot 
of free space on var:

lab01# df -H | grep var

Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1e    1.0G     29M    902M     3%    /var

Also a log of free inodes. Permissions are as follows:

The output of the ps command as defined by the config.h for the plugins:

/bin/ps -axwo 'stat uid ppid ucomm command'

Ss    1003     1 nagios              /usr/local/bin/nagios -d 
/usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Anybody got any thoughts?
