Hey Man...

I'm was right when I say... I tried at this moment...

Change the nagios.cmd permissions...  my apache run as apache user...
so my ls -la is:
prw-rw----  1 nagios apache    0 Jul  5 15:27 nagios.cmd

Change this and return the result to us!!!

Regards,
Daniel Szortyka aka sekuela :-)

My Apache2 is running as nobody and has been made a member of the nagioscmd group.  The nagioscmd group in turn has rw permissions to the nagios.cmd file.  Should the nagiosadmin account be an actual user account as being listed in the /etc/passwd file or is this just a virtual account listed in the ~/nagios/etc/htpasswd.user file?
