Negative, if I comment out anything INSIDE the windows.cfg file, nagios service fails to start: administrator@Nagios:~$ sudo /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg Nagios Core 4.1.0rc1 Copyright (c) 2009-present Nagios Core Development Team and Community Contributors Copyri...
