Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nagios3
Once external command checking has been enabled in nagios.cfg the following error message is reported when attempting to use external commands: --- Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/lib/nagios3/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. --- Reported on several websites are the following steps to resolve the problem: --- sudo /etc/init.d/nagios3 stop sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 2710 /var/lib/nagios3/rw sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios nagios 751 /var/lib/nagios3 sudo /etc/init.d/nagios3 start --- These filesystem permissions should be the default unless there is a compelling reason not to or a more secure solution to this problem.
