Nagios Support Forum

Hey Scottwilkerson,

I have pulled the logs and reran that command from before while in the broken state. We are still on version 5.4.13. please see below.

Thank you!

[root@nagios02 /]# ps -ef|grep nagios.cfg
nagios 20363 1 2 Sep29 ? 01:08:26 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Yup,

::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 l

I guess I need to have you run a few more commands, I'm not sure yet why/how this could be happening.

Oh boy ok thank you again for looking!

looks like somehow your nagios command is a file and not a pipe like it is supposed to be

Let run the following this should allow the downtime command to be submitted again

I ran the following and looks like reoccurring downtime is working however when I try to schedule downtime for a specific host or service it never applies in the UI still.

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
service nagios start

this should allow the downtime command to be submitted again

Can you show the permissions of this again

Are you using SNMP Traps by chance? If so, can you please attach this file:
You will need to run these commands again:
Here is your output (notice the missing p on the begging showing it's a pipe file):
Here is a proper output (notice the first p on the permissions indicating it is a pipe file):
