If it says it's unrecognized, it may have removed it anyway, even though part of the uninstall script failed. 'rpm -q nagios' to verify if it's there or not. The service command will only work for things that deposit the appropriate files in /etc/init.d/. Basically it usually only works if the program was installed via rpm, though that's more of a usage thing and not a rule. Not to be rude, but you should REALLY consider reading the RHEL docs for sysadmins if you're going to be running rhel. There's a vast difference between being able to build / configure software and being able to admin a system. Some of the "Best Practice" type docs would do you a world of good. It doesn't matter what distro you run, you need to learn the particulars of that distribution to be able to fully utilize it. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
