Separate networks, separate systems.

Let us know how you would like to continue. Thanks!
I may stop using that system because I simply don't understand why it thinks everything is down/up when it isn't...
But I have an issue where nagios isn't starting on startup on my VPS server. No idea why that isn't working right.
I ran this command below to create a symbolic link to fix the startup issue but it already exists.
Code: Select all
# ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rc
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/etc/rc': File exists
Nagios still doens't start up on boot.
If I edit /etc/rc I see this in the file.
Code: Select all
DESC="Nagios"
NAME=nagios
DAEMON=/usr/local/nagios/bin/$NAME
DAEMON_ARGS="-d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg"
PIDFILE=/usr/local/nagios/var/$NAME.lock

On your VPS server what's the output of this?
Code: Select all
sudo update-rc.d nagios default
sudo update-rc.d nagios enable
Any errors?

Code: Select all
# sudo update-rc.d nagios default
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5]
-n: not really
-f: force
The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.
Code: Select all
# sudo update-rc.d nagios enable
update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting!

Could you run an strace for us and give us the output?
You may have to install strace first.
Then run this.
Code: Select all
strace service nagios restart &> /tmp/strace.txt
You will have to use something like Filezilla to get the file to us.

It didn't actually go through.
Could you run the command as root or sudo.
Code: Select all
strace sudo service nagios restart &> /tmp/strace.txt
