cannot make comments under nagios after server crash. nagios.cmd missing

[Rahul Nabar]

I recently had a server crash. I recovered and restarted nagios
manually but now I seem to have lost the ability to make comments on
hosts. If I try I get the error message:

Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!
The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running,
and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.


That file is indeed missing. Running a "locate nagios.cmd" though
shows the file at that location so it must have been there before the
crash.

Do I need to restart something? What am I missing.

The older comments are intact though. It is just that I cannot make
new comments.
