I have a script that loops and checks the mtime of the status.log.  If
it changes, I re-read the file.

Subject: [Nagios-users] how the file /var/log/status.log is updated

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
