NAME
       Nagios - network/systems status monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS
       nagios [-h] [-v] [-s] [-d] <main_config_file>

DESCRIPTION
       nagios  is a daemon program that monitors the status of various network
       accessible systems, devices, and more.  For  more  information,	please
       consult the online documentation available at http://www.nagios.org, or
       on your nagios server's web page.

OPTIONS
       main_config_file
	      The main configuration file.  On openSUSE systems this  defaults
	      to /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

       -h     A helpful usage message

       -v     Reads  all  data in the configuration files and performs a basic
	      verification/sanity check.  Always make  sure  you  verify  your
	      config  data  before  (re)starting  Nagios. You can also use the
	      Nagios init script to verify your configuration - try:  rcnagios
	      check_verbose

       -s     Shows  projected/recommended  check scheduling information based
	      on the current data in the configuration files.

       -d     Starts Nagios  in	 daemon	 mode  (instead	 of  as	 a  foreground
	      process).

FILES
       /etc/nagios
	      Default configuration directory for nagios
