From nagios.cfg: # EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE # This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests. # It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are # submitted # by users, so it must be writeable by the user that the web server # is running as (usually 'nobody'). Permissions should be set at the # directory level instead of on the file, as the file is deleted every # time its contents are processed.
