Splitting files

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

To make things easier in nagios.cfg, you can create a subfolder - put 
any *.cfg files in it, and add "cfg_dir=<subfolder>" into nagios.cfg 
instead of a ton of "cfg_file" directives.
When Nagios starts it will load any *.cfg from your subfolder 
dynamically saving you the hassle of having to remember to add a new 
config file into nagios.cfg.
