Hi slansing, (dutch roots?)

If, by design, Mysql removes this lock file on daemon shutdown. Then, in order to ensure continuity, it should check for - and delete this - on startup.
It should be fairly simple to fix.

This is not something that would/will be added to Nagios XI, however you could certainly edit the start) section of your /etc/init.d/mysqld

The problem is, that it is there by design, to make sure you do not startup mysql if the lock file is still present.
