Re(2): Abnormal Program Termination

For what it's worth, a reload (which, depending on your init scripts, is
probably just a "kill -HUP" to the Nagios process) often gives me the
same results.

I've been seeing this issue for years, and have never found a good fix
for it.  I've ended up doing the kill -9 thing myself when Nagios hangs
on me (though I've automated it because it happens quite often on a few
of the Nagios installations I deal with), and that works pretty well
most of the time.

I wrote some extra logic into the init script to wait for the processes
to die (echoing a dot every second it waits..........).

If it doesn't die efficiently, I open another SSH session and manually
kill -9 the hung process(es).

I don't know if reload would work or not, though.
