Nagios won't stop when type: service nagios top

[misterfigaro]

Hi guys,

i've recently upgraded from nagios 3 .2 to 4.0.2, now everything works fine but when i try to restart or stop the process it won't work.

I had to killall nagios and the start with service nagios start.

I checked the lock file path in nagios.cfg and seems correct, it's in /var/nagios/nagios.pid and the user nagios has right to access that folder.

What can be the problem?

many thanks

What distro are you running on?

Hi,

Do you receive any errors when stopping or starting the nagios service? If so, could you post them?

[misterfigaro]

Basically when i try to restart the service i get:

Stopping nagios: [FAILED]
Starting nagios: [ OK ]

the nagios.log file appear like this:

[1392887986] Warning: use_embedded_perl_implicitly is deprecated and will be removed.

[1392887986] Lockfile '/var/nagios/nagios.pid' looks like its already held by another instance of Nagios (PID 9557). Bailing out...

the nagios.log file is:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 nagios nagios 5 Feb 18 17:26 nagios.pid

any idea???

thx

You may have multiple nagios parent processes. Lets try to restart nagios cleanly:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall nagios
kill -9 9557
service nagios status
ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg
service nagios start
