Hello, I know this is more OS related and not so much nagios related, but I thought maybe somebody has stumbled across this:
I need, on a critical failure that is trapped by nagios (this works for me), to restart an application which I usually restart as root user on this machine. To be specific: Tomcat is giving up work now and then on this machine, I can trap it, and need to restart it. Normally I do this by /etc/init.d/tomcat restart -- but I need to be root for this, so nagios cannot do this automatically for me, because it runs as nagios user. What is the best way to approach this ? Changing the owner of the tomcat-related startup files so that nagios can do it ? Writing a file on-critical-error and restarting tomcat (as a cron-job), whenever that file exists ? Something else ?
