I obtain a different result slightly:

sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var# ps -eo pid,user,rgroup,command | grep nagios
16830 nagios   nagcmd   /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
16831 nagios   nagcmd   /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
16832 nagios   nagcmd   /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var# ll status.dat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 286639 2008-05-26 11:08 status.dat

sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# ll nagios.cmd
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 2008-05-26 10:58 nagios.cmd

Thanks for your reply.

Daniel
