I think the options you use are not valid.

Also using the restart option may result in issues with duplicate 
processes and such.

Stopping and starting services is a admin job so needs to be done as root 
or user with equivalent rights.

For small config changes I use:
 	service nagios reload

For bigger issues I check Nagios configs at least twice and then do:
 	service nagios stop
 	sleep 10
 	service nagios start

To get yourself into trouble use:
 	service nagios restart.

Untill someone puts a sleep command in the nagios service file.
