 |
|
When I restart nagios, I get this error in the nagios log file.
| Code: | | Lockfile '/tmp/nagios.lock' is held by PID 0. Bailing out... |
I usally delete the file and then do the restart, does anyone know what permission I need to change to resolve this?

My nagios system doesn't have that file. Your error message is probably refering to a PID (Proccess ID) rather than a problem with perms. To see what program is using the file try doing
| Code: | | lsof | grep nagios.lock |

So I did the lsof.
| Code: | ncheck nagios # lsof | grep nagios.lock
nagios 6184 nagios 4uW REG 3,3 5 3940858 /tmp/nagios.lock
ncheck nagios # ps -eaf | grep 6184
nagios 6184 1 0 15:02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/nagios/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
root 7334 3867 0 15:41 pts/3 00:00:00 grep 6184
ncheck nagios #
|
Just not sure why the permissions change so that the nagios user can't delete or read the file when restarting nagios? |
