Typo error in /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios !!

[Bimal Pandit]

Dear All,

i installed nagios-2.0b2.tar.gz and nagios-plugins-1.4.tar.gz  on my
fedora core 3, after compliling/installaing/configuring i started it as 

[bimal at bimalserver bimal]#
service nagios start

i got above message!!, yes this is an error(AFAIK), so i am posting my
solution so that this will help someone...

in your installation, in the startup script i.e.

[bimal at bimalserver bimal]# vi /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios

find a line 

 "if ps -p $NagiosPID; then" and change it to "if ps -P $NagiosPID;
then", note the "p" and "P", in fact it is either a typo error or the
system on which it was made uses "p" -- no idea!!!

well in the last i hope that this will be of some use.

regards,
