Nagios Support Forum

Hello Jason,

How about including a config file from nagios.cfg, say
'cfg_file=failover.cfg' and have that file either be empty or contain the
extra options needed for that instance? On startup you can either null the
file or copy the contents of a template to it.


Regards,

Atle
