[root at nagios nagios]# grep retention nagios.cfg
state_retention_file=/var/log/nagios/status.dat
retention_update_interval=60

I'm using the init scripts, using reload or restart.  No -9 there.

Yes, full of data.  Timestamp shows that it is updated:

[root at nagios nagios]# ll /var/log/nagios/status.dat
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios nagios 167055 Feb 29 15:22 /var/log/nagios/status.dat


(it is 15:22 right now)
