[pjonkers]

I have a problem woth the Nagios.cmd file.

i am using nagios latest release en ubuntu latest release.
i have created the nagios.cmd with the following procedure

cd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
touch nagios.cmd
chown nagios.www-data nagios.cmd
chmod 660 nagios.cmd

how can i resolve the issue that after every restart of the nagios server the file disapeares.
it only happend after a compleet restart of the servers.

cheers

Nagios should be recreating that file every time it's restarted. Are you sure that Nagios has permission to write to that directory?

[pjonkers]

It seems Ok with the rights
When i recreate the file and stop en start nagios it works fine

It only occours when i restart the comPleet server

Is it a timing issua?

What should the rights be on the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw be ?

I am not a linux gooro so any help is welcome

Thx

What should the rights be on the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw be ?

Code: Select all

# ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 4096 Apr 17 09:00 /usr/local/nagios/var/rw

I changed the rights for the RW folder as you specified and stil no luck.

but after teh reboot of the server.., i stopped nagios with /etc/init.d/nagios stop en started again with /etc/init.d/nagios start.
now the file is created.
is there a way to delay the nagios start command or do it twice ?

You could add 'service nagios restart' to /etc/rc.local to start nagios twice when booting.

You could call a script on startup:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#how many seconds you want to delay for
sleep 300
#start nagios service
/sbin/service nagios start

You could call a script on startup:

That's essentially what happens when you add commands to /etc/rc.local.
