Starting nagios-statd via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagiosstatd will therefore launch the daemon, but not create a PIDfile. This in turn means that attempting to start or restart the daemon via the RC script will fail, as it does not detect a running instance. >How-To-Repeat: $ /var/run$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagiosstatd start Starting nagiosstatd. $ ps auxwww | grep statd root 68885 0.0 0.2 5140 3696 ?? Ss 11:30AM 0:00.04 python /usr/local/sbin/nagios-statd $ ls /var/run/nagiosstatd.pid ls: /var/run/nagiosstatd.pid: No such file or directory $ /var/run$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagiosstatd restart nagiosstatd not running? Starting nagiosstatd. Port 1040 is already in use. Unable to bind - exiting. Manually adding a "-P /var/run/nagiosstatd.d" will create the pidfile, but a stop/restart will still complain that the daemon is not running (even when it is, and the pidfile contains a valid process-id for statd) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
