Indeed it does.
You should check the manual concerning the retention file, and probably 
also the schedule retention.

And, of course, having multiple nagios instances running is *always* 
annoying and might lead to all sorts of funny results :-)

Try
nagios stop
sleep 10
killall nagios
sleep 10
killall -9 nagios
sleep 10
nagios start

or something alike - does wonders here ;-)
