Hi Steve,
I want to say that was a contiguous series of events from the Nagios log (ie, I didn't trim or skip anything), but here is another test, end-to-end with nothing at all trimmed out. Also, I am the only person that has access to this installation, so I am positive that no one is issuing commands that I'm not aware of:
From /var/log/messages:
Nov 16 07:30:20 hntbw597 nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;hntbw598;EventLog Agent;2;HEARTBEAT [CRIT #2]: Service halting

And from the Nagios log:
[1258378220] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;hntbw598;EventLog Agent;2;HEARTBEAT [CRIT #2]: Service halting

Only on Nagios daemon running, BTW.
This is Nagios v3.2.0. From objects.cache (to show the *running* Nagios configuration, not just the config files:

I'll change the freshness check now and see what happens...
Thanks so much!
