Nagios Configurations related to CGI

Here is my problem.

Iam starting Nagios …

It shows the status using the cgi pages .

Now i kill the nagios process in the server.

When i check through the nagios pages it carries the old information before i stoped the nagios.

It never shows as the nagios stopped or services status never changes to pending in that .

So how can i know that nagios is not running through accessing cgi pages it self.

am i missing any configuration in cgi.cfg or nagios.cfg etc.

you help will be appreciated in this regard
