Hello everybody,

I have a problem with the file that stores the performance data (usually =
'service-perf'). Despite the fact that I choosed to hourly rotate the =
logs (nagios.cfg), this one tends to keep growing indefinitely. When I =
try to truncate it (with '> service-perfdata' or 'cat /dev/null' or 'dd =
if=3D/dev/zero of=3Dservice-perfdata count=3D1' for example) the file is =
zeroed but only momentarily, because nagios keeps the file opened (fuser =
service-perfdata corroborates this), and therefore the size of the file =
grows as if nothing has happened.

Does anyone have a clue for how to solve this? Is this the right place =
to ask for this kind of help?

Regards,
