Description of problem: No pidfile is written Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nagios-4.0.8-1.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. restart nagios Actual results: ll /var/run/nagios/ total 0 No pidfile written (or updated) Expected results: pid written to pidfile Additional info: grep lock_file /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg lock_file=/var/run/nagios.pid => only written in daemon mode... grep -i pid /usr/lib/systemd/system/nagios.service PIDFile=/var/run/nagios/nagios.pid => this option (cleanup of left-over pidfile) is not used in current case because Type=simple according to systemd manual ll /var/run/ |grep nagios drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 40 15. Dez 07:31 nagios => nagios user should be able to create/write a file into directory I assume problem is that systemd will start nagios in foreground mode, but lock_file is only written in daemon mode by nagios itself ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nagios /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg Afair pidfile was written before major update to version 4
