[Perfparse-users] nagios HUP, multiple procss, perfparse.sh delete logs, etc....

[Jeff S. <je...@sk...>]

Ok, I've been fighting a problem for 2 days, and it appears to be related  
to perfparse.sh.  I had the --delete-service-log and --delete-host-log  
flags enabled, which was causing perfparse to delete the files, and HUP  
nagios.  However, (after reading many post, and debugging) I have  
discovered this has been my underlying problem.  Apparently this is  
starting another nagios process, which is a known issue.  Service checks  
get scheduled, but don't execute.  And I had service checks scheduled for  
every 2 hours, which would get executed every 5 minutes, which perfparse  
ran.  I've seen this issue on both Nagios 1.2 and 1.0, and Solaris 8 and  
Redhat9.

So, what is the proper way to purge the service and host logs?  Right now  
the only way would be to stop Nagios, purge the files, and restart  
nagios.  Which I don't really want to do.

Thanks,
Jeff
