autostarting nagios deamon

no.4 · 04-03-2008, 04:55 PM

What file do I edit to make sure the following command is executed upon bootup:

sudo /etc/init.d/nagios start

All I want is to be able to power up my PC and the above line item be ran without having to login and manually run it.

Thanks in advance,
Marty

Try this:-

Code:

chkconfig nagios on

Then, to see that it has worked, do this:-

Code:

chkconfig nagios --list

It should show that it is turned on for the appropriate run levels. If these commands don't work, then it is likely that the /etc/init.d/nagios script doesn't support chkconfig. You can fix this by adding this code somewhere near the top of your scripts (perhaps line 2 or 3):-

Code:

# chkconfig: 2345 99 00

Run "man chkconfig" for more details on using chkconfig.

PS: You need to be root to run chkconfig.
