Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
I keep getting the same error message. I have tried several different methods, and nothing seems to work. The message on the nagios GUI is:

" Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!"

This happens every time I try to do something such as send a customer service notification. Does anyone have any advice as to how to fix this?

Hi @doylehinojosa,

Thanks for reaching out.

Check if the nagios user is a member of the nagios and nagcmd. If the output looks like this, the groups assignment should be ok. If one or both groups are missing, run this command. If these suggestions do not help, this thread has some other triage steps.
