Nagios ignores -T (--timeout) parameter while running script

[scottwilkerson]

there is a setting in the nagios.cfg that is the longest nagios will allow a command to run

for services it is

Code: Select all

service_check_timeout=60

If you adjust this higher and restart nagios it will allow execution to go longer for service checks

[scottwilkerson]

You don't need to restart the server, just the nagios process, same thing that happens when you Apply Configuration.
or

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Therefore is there any way to overwrite "service_check_timeout"? For example using a flag like "--timeout" or something similar.

there is no way to override this setting without the nagios process restarting

Understood, I am trying to coordinate a manual restart for Sunday.
Will update soon.

Many thanks

Sounds good
