Marc, Thanks for your reply. I am using that nagios 2 package apart of Ubuntu. It appears to still work but the errors are worrisome. $:/etc/nagios2/scripts$ sudo /etc/init.d/nagios2 stop * Stopping nagios2 monitoring daemon nagios2 shift: 225: can't shift that many [ OK ] $:/etc/nagios2/scripts$ sudo /etc/init.d/nagios2 start * Starting nagios2 monitoring daemon nagios2 shift: 1: can't shift that many I have not modified the init script.

Are you using some OS or package version of nagios? If so, which? Have you modified the init script from it's default? Is nagios running? Does a stop and then start work correctly? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</a> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null </blockquote></div>
