Kill your Nagios daemon.

Now, kill the *other* Nagios daemon you have running.

If you make changes to your config file and send Nagios a SIGHUP (or
restart it) and the changes don't seem to "stick", you might have
multiple Nagios daemons running, one with an old config (that still
thinks 4.00 is a critical threshold), while the new daemon is
receiving the changes you mean to make.

This is a common issue, and it's easy to fix.  Shut down your daemon
via whatever method you have (service nagios stop, pkill, etc).  Then,
wait 30 seconds or so to allow outstanding service checks to wrap up,
and see if there are still Nagios processes hanging around.  If they
are, kill them too.  Wait another 30 seconds, rinse and repeat until
there are no more Nagios processes.

At that point, restart Nagios.  Do your changes take affect now?
