Just try /etc/init.d/nagios status ( are u certain nagios runs at the moment)

otherwise just do a restart. /etc/init.d/nagios restart

3

Think that a restart might run the risk of 2 processes running if nagios is currently up, as it has no information on the current process pid it needs tyo stop due to the missing lockfile… killall -9 nagios first.

4

Check the LOCK FILE variable in the nagios.cfg

thx you so much guys for your reply now i know… now i i get it… i think im an idiot… lol :D… my co-intern tell me to stop the nagios… so when i stop it… it stops… then a while ill stop it again so that’s why i got no lock file found… so im confuse so… what i did was,

[root@nagios5 nagios]# /sbin/service nagios restart
Running configuration check…done
Stopping nagios: No lock file found in /var/run/nagios.pid
Starting nagios: done.

so nagios starts…

[root@nagios5 nagios]# /etc/init.d/nagios status
nagios (pid 32372) is running…

now ive got a pid

then i try to stop start it…

[root@nagios5 nagios]# /etc/init.d/nagios restart
Running configuration check…done
Stopping nagios: .done.
Starting nagios: done.
[root@nagios5 nagios]# /etc/init.d/nagios reload
Running configuration check…done
Reloading nagios configuration…done
[root@nagios5 nagios]# /etc/init.d/nagios stop
Stopping nagios: .done.
[root@nagios5 nagios]# /etc/init.d/nagios start
Starting nagios: done.

if nagios is not running you dont have a nagios.pid file… what i did first was ill copy a nagios.pid from other server… woooot… its not even solve my problem… so if nagios is running… nagios.pid comes… :smiley:

so thank you so much! thomas, strides and albin for your replies! :smiley:

hope you help me once again in ndoutils soon im busy now in installing smokeping in CentOS5 :smiley: thx again!

cheers!
