Hi,
I had a similar problem with tons of Nagios processes laying around pretty
much doing nothing.
After some trial and error, I recuded the reaper_frequency from 10 seconds
to 1 second. The reaper frequency determines how often the main nagios
proces collects returned data from childs (I think). Maybe the processes you
see are just waiting to deliver their results to the main nagios proces.
