Nagios External Command fails. [FIXED]

[daniel mcfarland]

  This is a permissions issue, usually (on the directory).  Or not having
the directory created.

  You would probably have better luck just googling it:

  Make sure you add the user nagios to your system as well.

  But again, googling it would probably be better because without fine
grained details, we're all just shooting in the dark.

  Thanks.
