Hello, @orani. Does the lock file reappear after you start the nagios process?

service nagios start

[orani]

No. When i run service nagios start there are no erros but no lock file is created and nagios dont really start

[npolovenko]

@orani, When did this issue start and what changes were done to the server prior to this?

What's the output of:

service nagios status

Can you show me the output of:

tail -200 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

Also, please show me the output of the following commands:

cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios | grep NagiosRunFile=
cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg | grep lock
