@suryakiran, You need to run it as the nagios user. Because that's how it's executed when you Apply the Config in GUI.

Getting the below error.

What are the permissions of the "/usr/local/nagios/var/" directory?

Code: Select all

ls -lad /usr/local/nagios/var

Also, let's take a look at the cron log:

Code: Select all

tail -50 /var/log/cro

[lmiltchev]

Have you tried restarting crond?

Code: Select all

service crond restart

What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

chage nagios -l

Here's a possible solution, posted on the support forum from a user, having similar issues are you:

In order to fix this, I added the nagios user to /etc/cron.allow and edited /etc/pam.d/crond to include the following line:
account sufficient pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/cron.allow onerr=succeed

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=32636

[suryakiran]

Please check the output.
chage nagios -l

The user nagios is already been added in /etc/cron.allow
I have added account sufficient pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/cron.allow onerr=succeed in pam.d/crond and the issue is still the same.

Run the following command to enable the expired nagios user:

Code: Select all

chage -I -1 -m 0 -M 99999 -E -1 nagios

and restart crond:

Code: Select all

service crond restart
