is it possible to uninstall Nagios

[benhank]

Is it possible to uninstall nagios without reinstalling the os?
I tried to doc "uninstalling nagios" but when i ran the command:

Code: Select all

[root@lkennagiosxit01 ~]# /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/uninstall-xi.sh

[root@lkennagiosxit01 ~]# /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/uninstall-xi.sh
So then:

Code: Select all

[root@lkennagiosxit01 ~]# cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/
[root@lkennagiosxit01 scripts]# ls

[root@lkennagiosxit01 scripts]# ./uninstall_xi.sh

i got:

-bash: ./uninstall_xi.sh: Permission denied
I understand that nagios has to be installed on a fresh install of centos, but will this script restore it to the "fresh, never been installed" state?
I ask this because on our test server, sometimes we want to do projects from a fresh start, but reinstalling the OS is not always an option, as my servers are 50+ miles away from where my office is.

That is a permissions error run the following:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/uninstall_xi.sh

This script is a beta though, so please let us know if it works out for you.

nah I did not work. to many linux commands for a person on my level to edit. too bad tho. guess I gotta hop in the car.. =(

What did the terminal tell you when you tried to run the script again after making it executable?

[ockmeyer]

I don't see a response to the questions, but this is what I get after making the file executable:

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/uninstall_xi.sh: line 4: ./init.sh: No such file or directory

[slansing]

Make sure you are running it with a ./ in front, to make it easier do this:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts

./uninstall_xi.sh

[ockmeyer]

I'm trying to run it exactly like that and still get:

./uninstall_xi.sh: line 4: ./init.sh: No such file or directory

[ockmeyer]

Has anyone figured out how to get the uninstall script to run?

[lmiltchev]

Try this one instead:

uninstall_xi.sh

Note: This *should* uninstall Nagios XI, but it will also uninstall MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Let me know if this worked for you.
