<div dir="ltr">Version: 3.2.3, specifically nagios-3.2.3-3.el5.rf (from RPMforge)<div><br></div><div style>I just noticed that my checkresults spool directory has several thousand files in it, some going back for years. For at least the more recent files the orphaned files seem to correlate with when the server was reloaded or restarted. Relevant parameters from nagios.cfg are sane or default and I see nothing about this in the change log for later versions. Is this a known bug with this version or have I stumbled upon something new?</div>
<div style><br class="">Looking over the debug log, the reaping process seems to generally run for <10s, so it seems like there should be plenty of time for it to actually clean these up if it were going to.<br></div>
