I tried to activate the external command interface. 

What I did (like stated in /usr/share/doc/nagios2/README.Debian
 Section "External Commands"):

root at gate:/etc/nagios2# grep check_external_commands *
nagios.cfg:check_external_commands=1
root at gate:/etc/nagios2# dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 
2710 /var/lib/nagios2/rw
root at gate:/etc/nagios2# 

After restarting nagios and using webinterface to reschedule some stuff I got:

"Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/lib/nagios2/rw/nagios.cmd'!

The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or 
Nagios may not be checking external commands.

An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing."

So maybe something is missing?

Thanks for your help. With kind regards, Jan.
