Nagios Support Forum

and of course it worked...well, I could have sworn I installed the plugins, that's why I was ignoring that possibility adamantly. but apparently not- thanks for your help and patience and please excuse my ignorance. thanks again

templates.cfg?

what is the filename?

localhost.cfg ...also attached (filename extension changed to avoid upload error)

it is not the only host but it is separate from the other, primary Nagios host... this will eventually replace it but it runs solely on its own hardware (stand alone)

looks like its missing a plugin...screen shot attached..

I think that did it! "Nagios" user needed the bash shell..

# service nagios restart
Running configuration check...done.
Stopping nagios: done.
Starting nagios: done.

(no error.)

Thanks a bunch!
