The last link gave me something the latch onto. Here is the top of my status.dat file:</DIV> <DIV><BR>info {<BR> created=1317748445<BR> version=3.3.1<BR> last_update_check=1317680163<BR> update_available=0<BR> last_version=3.3.1<BR> new_version=3.3.1<BR> }</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> So it appears that Nagios is checking just fine. So my problem appears to be the in main.php, which never did display the "update available" banner when I was running version 3.2.3 (and 3.3.1 had been out for a week). Any ideas?<BR><BR></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV> <DIV><EM><STRONG></STRONG></EM></DIV> <DIV><EM><STRONG><IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt="Florida's Capital County" align=baseline src="cid:NKPAHSGEBMFA.IMAGE_23.JPG"></STRONG></EM></DIV> <DIV><EM><STRONG>Jon Adcock</STRONG></EM></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=1 face=Tahoma>Network Systems Administrator</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=1 face=Tahoma>Leon County MIS<BR>301 S.
