Nagios Support Forum

Hello Folks,

I am running nagios 4.2.4 with "nagiosql" frontend for configuration. I noticed the "RESTART_PROGRAM" command which sends to the nagios.cmd to update the changes, stopped working all of a sudden. Initially I thought it got something to do with nagiosql. However, sending "Restart_Program" manually to nagios.cmd also didnt work.

This is the command i use

printf "[%lu] RESTART_PROGRAM;\n" `date +%s` >/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

I confirmed "nagios.cmd" is a pipe file (as it should be) owned by nagios daemon.

Any idea why it stopped working? Remember it was working fine few days back and no changes had been done recently.
