I have run the command as the user "Nagios" from the shell prompt, and
it works fine. But when called from Nagios, it fails. In fact,
check_logs.pl is running perfectly on all of the Nagios client machines
without a problem. The problem started when I wanted to monitor the
/var/log/messages file on the "Nagios server". I'm having trouble
monitoring the local logs, but not logs from remote clients.
My last post has output from "strace". I'm not sure how to read it, but
it appears to me that there may be a rights issue. What does "-1 ENOTTY
(Inappropriate ioctl for device)" mean? Here again, are the last few
lines from the strace:

As well as Mark Powell's suggestions, try running the command as
nagios to see what happens to it.
./check_logs.pl -c /etc/nagios/check_logs_linux.cfg
