Re: [Nagios-users] service checks running too often

2012-12-13 Thread Mark Keisler
I think I found the issue. If I happen to send a reload (HUP) to nagios while a service check is in progress (fairly easy since my service check is rather long lived), the reloaded nagios doesn't seem to know about that service check and so I'll end up with another being scheduled as well as the o
