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

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

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

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