external commands enable problems

[mchoekst at mtu.edu]

hi list-
  i am revamping a previous Nagios install, and when i set the 
check_external_commands=1 instead of 0, the web interface (at least) of 
nagios dies.  what is more odd is that when i do a reload of the config 
after this has occurred, it seems as though the nagios process wasnt 
running in the first place:

# reload when changing variable back to 0 when it was running as 1

server(21)% sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload
Running configuration check...done
Stopping network monitor: nagios
/etc/init.d/nagios: line 66: kill: (588) - No such process
Starting network monitor: nagios
   PID TTY          TIME CMD
   732 ?        00:00:00 nagios

# typical reload without changing this variable:

server(17)% sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload
Running configuration check...done
Reloading nagios configuration...done


any advice would be appreciated

-Mike
