Better to determine the reason why nagios isn't/can't create the log file on it's own to begin with. Several possibilities -- - The nagios user doesn't have write permission to /var/log/nagios. - You have an error in your config (run /path/to/nagios/bin/nagios -v /path/to/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg) - The path to status.log as defined in the init script is different than the path to status.log as defined in nagios.cfg (status_file=...). That's likely not a comprehensive list but it's a start. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo. Introducing Yahoo!

There was a '/var/log/nagios/status.saved' that I renamed to '/var/log/nagios/status.log'. Then I created the folder '/var/spool/nagios' that belongs to the user 'nagios' and the group 'apache'.
