I am trying to enable external commands so that I can temporarily disable notifications of a known problem. I have the following setup in my configuration file: check_external_commands=1 command_check_interval=1 command_file=/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd However, everytime i want to use the disable command, I get the message : Sorry, but Nagios is currently not checking for external commands, so your command will not be committed! I am guessing that I probably have a file permission/selinux context issue somewhere but I am having difficulty tracking this down. Can anyone provide some clues as to what files i can look at ? How does the cgi determine that I am do not have access to external commands ? Many thanks for any help you can provide, Yong. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] enabling external commands
K, In answer to my own post, it looks like the command cgi *requires* the nagios.cfg file to be used as the main configuration file. I was trying to use my own 'maing' config file which was causing me the grief. Now I am seeing the error message : Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd'! The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands. My nagios user is : nagios, http is apache and the permissions on this file are correctsigh...one step at a time...any ideas ? Yong.
