Thanks, it's been a while since I've set those config settings. One of the things I found on my server running nagios was that there were a large number of 0 byte length files with the IP address of the server with a randomization string at the end. I theorized that if a socket file already exists, nagios sees it as an error. Therefore I deleted all the files and I wonder why they're not being deleted automagically. > >> What causes socket errors and how can I prevent them? > What was the exact error message? Here is the message I received: Notification Type: PROBLEM Service: System-CPU Host: WWW03 Address: <-- snip --> State: UNKNOWN Date/Time: Tue Apr 18 23:51:25 EDT 2006 Additional Info: Socket Error ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
