snmptt service stops after applying configuration in nagios

Post by mohanbabud »

my snmptt service stops automaticall after monitoring engine restart from nagios web UI.Also nagios command pipe is created as file instead of pipe.
Nagios is showing error soemthing like bellow
Error: Could not create external command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' as named pipe: (17) -> File exists. If this file already exists and you are sure that another copy of Nagios is not running, you should delete this file.
[1386656933] Bailing out due to errors encountered while trying to initialize the external command file... (PID=13294)



Any help is appreciated!!!

Do you have multiple nagios processes running that are not children?:

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep nagios
