nagios list of process IDs must follow -p

[REMY Julien]

In /etc/init.d/nagios : 

status_nagios ()
{

	if test ! -f $NagiosRunFile; then
		echo "No lock file found in $NagiosRunFile"
		return 1
	fi

	NagiosPID=`head -n 1 $NagiosRunFile`
	if test -x $NagiosCGI/daemonchk.cgi; then
		if $NagiosCGI/daemonchk.cgi -l $NagiosRunFile; then
		        return 0
		else
			return 1
		fi
	else
		if ps -p $NagiosPID; then
		        return 0
		else
			return 1
		fi
	fi

	return 1
}

Hey Remy,

The script probably contains a call to "ps -p" which requires a  
number of PIDs. My guess is that these PIDs should be generated by  
the script, but that something's going wrong :)

EDIT:
Ah, found it:
>  NagiosPID=`head -n 1 $NagiosRun`
>         if test -x $NagiosCGI/daemonchk.cgi; then
>                 if $NagiosCGI/daemonchk.cgi -l $NagiosRun; then
>                         return 0
>                 else
>                         return 1
>                 fi
>         else
>                 if ps -p $NagiosPID; then
>                         return 0
>                 else
>                         return 1
>                 fi
>         fi

So it's trying to get the PID from the Nagios lock file, but  
apparently there is no PID in there and thus the script borks :)  
Should be easy to fix this, though IMHO this should be fixed in the  
source/package so everyone benefits from it.

Cheers!
