that's the problem.

Please run

Code: Select all

crontab -l -u nagios | grep -v /usr/local/nagiosxi/cron | crontab -u nagios -
This should resolve the issue

Thanks a lot!

That has indeed fixed the problem. What was the issue?

Will I need to run that command again or is that a one-time fix?

This is a one time fix.

The issue was that a while back we moved the cron jobs out of the nagios users cron to the /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi file.

We have had in place a script that was supposed to remove these on upgrade, but it had a bug in it. While trying to diagnose a different issue, I found the bug, which led me to believe this was the problem on your system.

The bug has been fixed in the new version to be released shortly, so anyone else having similar issues would get them automatically corrected on upgrade.

Great news! Well spotted.

Many thanks for your help.

Which brings to me to the point that is it ideal for us to wait for the next release of Nagios XI 2012 or upgrade to the current version.

You can indeed close this thread.

I would wait until 2012R1.1 comes out (maybe today) and go with that.

There are just a couple bugfixes in it and being it is so close, it would be better to wait a day.
