Maybe you did not wait long enough for the cron job to run .. by default it runs every minute.

Or.. the the cron job is not running, see the docs, you should have:

$ sudo su
# crontab -l
* * * * * /usr/bin/test -e /tmp/nagios_restart_request && ( /bin/rm /tmp/nagios_restart_request; /usr/bin/restart_nagios; )

and check your cron logs.

Or.. you're running CentOS 7 and you did not do the 'Configure the Operating System' section properly in the docs

If the above did not point you in the right direction please let me know your OS version.

Thanks for your fast reaction, my OS is debian 9.2 (stretch) i am trying since 2 days i dont think thats something with waiting `# crontab -l

• • • • • /usr/bin/test -e /tmp/nagios_restart_request && ( /bin/rm /tmp/nagios_restart_request; /usr/bin/restart_nagios; ) ` here is the last 2 lines from my corn log :

Oct 12 13:42:01 CRON[21188]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/test -e /tmp/nagios_restart_request && ( /bin/rm /tmp/nagios_restart_request; /usr/bin/restart_nagios; )) Oct 12 13:43:01 CRON[21256]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/test -e /tmp/nagios_restart_request && ( /bin/rm /tmp/nagios_restart_request; /usr/bin/restart_nagios; ))

I installed debian 9.2 and nagios3 isn't even in debian repos anymore, and nagrestconf will refuse to install without forcing it somehow. Debian recommends using icinga instead (see this bug report).

This might be a good time to try the docker installation instructions, which gives you the latest nagios with the latest nagrestconf.

If you want to fix this issue I think that you can work around the problem by changing the PrivateTmp setting in /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service to 'PrivateTmp=false'.

I have updated the website to make it clear that docker should be used for Debian 9.x, so many thanks for your query!
