Start Nagios 4.0.7 at bootup

[tariqondego]

How do i get nagios 4.0.7 to start at bootup.
tried
ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rcS.d/S99nagios
from the quickstart installation guide,but the S99nagios does not exist in the specified directory.Figured it might be a different name/location.

Please advise.

What OS and version are you running? Startups will be handled differently by different distros.

Perhaps:

Code: Select all

ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rc2.d/S20nagios

I found this on:

Ok,have tried that,am not getting any error but then 's20nagios' does not exist in /etc/rc2.d/

[Box293]

See if this helps find the nagios file:

Code: Select all

find /etc/ -name '*nagios'

Thanks,sorted.

Just out of curiosity, what was the final solution?

[tariqondego]

ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rc2.d/S20nagios

The above command creates a symbolic link. So S20nagios will point to /etc/init.d/nagios.
All services in /etc/rc2.d/ will autostart at boot,since S20nagios is created at this location while creating the link,/etc/init.d/nagios will automatically start at boot.
