[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#571801: Error: Could not stat() command file /var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd

[Vladimir Osintsev]

Package: nagios3-common
Version: 3.2.0-4
Severity: normal
File: /var/lib/nagios3
Tags: confirmed patch

I stumbled about this nagios error when I try to send directs commands via the web-interface:

Error: Could not stat() command file ‘/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd’!

In nagios.cfg file the "check_external_commands=1" already set.

Procedure for fixing this bug:

# /etc/init.d/nagios3 stop
# dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 2710 /var/lib/nagios3/rw
# dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios nagios 751 /var/lib/nagios3
# /etc/init.d/nagios3 start
