Looks like we're having a problem with Nagios resetting the timezone when issuing the RESTART_PROGRAM external command.

We have an event handler set up to dynamically create some Nagios config files from our database, at the end of which we send the RESTART_PROGRAM command via the comand file.

Below, we see that when started using the RESTART_PROGRAM, the TZ gets reset to GMT, whereas when we restart using the standard command line, this doesn't happen.

Even when logging to syslog, Nagios submits the wrong time:

/var/log/messages:

Log messages from Nagios are in timezone different from NY (EST).

I have restarted Nagios manually and saw:

Is this a known bug?
