<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=648370417-07102002>Im having a slight
problem with the configuration of Nagios, and Im hoping someone can shed some
light on the issue.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=648370417-07102002>I recently installed
Nagios 1.0b6, and I have approx. 122 hosts/services that are being monitored, in
a few different groups. I have setup contacts and email
address'</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=648370417-07102002>and everything seems
to work fine. But my problem comes when I attempt to run commands from the web
interface (ie: creating comments for a device, restarting the nagios process,
disbleing checks for services. Basically all commands. As you know if you add
new hosts, you must restart the nagios process. And since the command for
restarting the nagios process doesnt work i have to kill the PID# , after doing
that the only way to start nagios back up is to go into the nagios.cfg file and
change the check_external_commands=1 from 1 to 0 , then i need to save that
file, then start up nagios , then i can go in and change the value back to
1.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=648370417-07102002>when i try to
execute the commands via the web interface, it actually says it is working,
which is what really throws me off. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=648370417-07102002>Any assistance would
be appreaciated.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
