I really feel like there's something wrong with maybe a newly yum'ed Perl library or Perl package that has caused npcd to halt while processing the files, hence the build up of spool files.

BTW, I turned off npcd. Scenario (I've done this 3x). Stop npcd Delete ALL in the spool directories Start npcd ...wait ...wait spool files not processed (see [06-19-2015 11:19:05] NPCD: ERROR: Command line was '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl -n -b /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata/...

Deleted all of perfdata, restarted npcd, took about 2 minutes to climb to a load of 4.

Load is 3-6, cpu 100.

Nah, chmodded them and restarted, still have to stop npcd within a few minutes.

Sorry I'm not responding to these more quickly, I'm not getting notices from my subscription. I've never done a RAMDISK on this instance.

I wonder what happened around 5/16? There's nothing in the logs, and we haven't made any system changes recently.
I did upgrade on 5/8 to current version.
