Error: Cannot open main configuration file '/etc/init.d/stop' for reading!
Nagios 3.0.6 starting... (PID=20642)

Bailing out due to one or more errors encountered in the configuration files. Run Nagios from the command line with the -v option to verify your config before restarting. (PID=20642)

What command are you running to start nagios? It should not be reading the /etc/init.d/stop file for its configuration, but rather a nagios.cfg file located somewhere on your filesystem.

/etc/init.d/nagios stop
