Hi,

The fallback way could help tentatively.

My current way was to patch the provided arbiterdaemon.py and nagios.cfg 
to get them using a workdir and a pidfile parameter when installation is 
done.

But it's not a awesome nagios-compliancy way

Question : what is the aim to get arbiter to know where is its pidfile ? 
Shouldn't be only init scripts business ?

Same question for other modules ...

Why not to retrieve the pidfile parameter from an init script config 
file which would to be passed on command line to the daemons ?
