Some of these settings are probably already in your template, but there are a few you need to look for and verify for any host or service.


define host {
host_name slashdot.org
use xiwizard_website_host ; ####this is my template
address slashdot.org
hostgroups linux-servers
max_check_attempts 5
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
contacts nagiosadmin
notification_interval 60
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_options n ; ####make sure to specify what events will trigger a notification, (d,r,u,s)

I have the same problem and I am running Ubuntu 9. I have followed instructions how to install nagios on ubuntu quick start by SourceForge step by step and there was no errors unti I didn't tried "/etc/init.d/nagios restart" and i got "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios: No such file or directory". When I have tried "ls /etc/init.d/", there was no nagios

has anyone found a solution to this problem? I'm stuck,
