Is there any reason the Nagios process would shut itself down?
Its happened a few times today and I've restarted it.

The log shows the following just before it shuts down:

It looks like its shut down from command line but I am the only one that has access to the server and haven't shut it down at all.

Using Nagios 4.1.1 with, mod_gearman and livestatus.

For a test, can you remove the gearman and livestatus settings from the nagios.cfg file and see if the process continues to run?

I disabled both modules in the config file and restarted the Nagios process.
Within 20 minutes the process stopped again.
Seems to happen at least once an hour.

How did you install Nagios, and what OS is it running on?
