how the file /var/log/status.log is updated

[enediel gonzalez]

Hello:

I use nagios with linux, It's necessary for me to read the file status.log 
to look for services status and take decisions in some cases, but I need to 
know in which way this file is update to read it at the right time,

If in case I read the file at the moment it's updated, I could make mistakes 
in my decisions.

I'll appreciate any help to coordinate these processes.

Thanks in advance for any answer
