Nagios not starting at boot

I can start Nagios manually with /etc/init.d/nagios start or service nagios start. Even though the script is right there in /etc/init.d/ and working, I have to start Nagios manually after every reboot.

Have you added Nagios to the list of services that start at boot?

Code: Select all

7) Start Nagios

Add Nagios to the list of system services and have it automatically start when the system boots.

chkconfig --add nagios
chkconfig nagios on

For Ubuntu:
ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rcS.d/S99nagios
And yes, I did that.

What version of Ubuntu?

sudo update-rc.d nagios defaults may work for you. Source.
