All, I am currently using fprobe to collect flow statistics for NAGIOSNA. Unfortunately, using /etc/rc.local is not an option in my environment. Would it be possible to run fprobe as a service under xinetd with a service configuration file like:
Service fprobe
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
server = /usr/sbin/fprobe
server_args = -i <interface> <NNA server>:<port>
user = root
}
Running fprobe as a xinetd service
Re: Running fprobe as a xinetd service
What the xinetd daemon does it to listen for inbound connections and when it receives one, it will start the application that is configured for it.
Since the fprobe application needs to be running all of the time, it will not work with xinetd.
