Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/nagios/rw/nagios.

I'm having a little trouble with Nagios starting up correcly.

Right after a reboot of my server, if I try to execute a manual service check I get:

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

But if I simply restart the nagios service, I can complete the manual service check without issue.

This happens after EVERY reboot. Now I could simply restart nagios after every reboot, but I'd really like to solve this permanently.

When I run: ls -al /var/nagios/rw

I get the following results:

drwxrwsrwx 2 nagios nagiocmd 4096 Mar 16 01:24 .
drwxrwxr-x 5 nagios nagios 4096 Mar 16 01:29 ..

After running: service nagios restart

Then running: ls -al /var/nagios/rw

drwxrwsrwx 2 nagios nagiocmd 4096 Mar 16 01:31 .
drwxrwxr-x 5 nagios nagios 4096 Mar 16 01:32 ..
srw-rw---- 1 nagios nagiocmd 0 Mar 16 01:31 live
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagiocmd 0 Mar 16 01:32 nagios.cmd

after the nagios service restart nagios.cmd file shows up in the directory.

I following the instructions on this site:

http://nagios.manubulon.com/traduction/ ... dfile.html

I know this error is a common one and typically pertains to permissions, but I have tried reseting and even adding the nagiocmd group, but nothing has helped thus far.

Thanks for the assistance!

This is because nagios isn't running yet. The following files are created when nagios starts

Code: Select all

srw-rw---- 1 nagios nagiocmd 0 Mar 16 01:31 live
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagiocmd 0 Mar 16 01:32 nagios.cmd
