service nagios start failed

You need to make a script in the following directory:
/etc/systemd/system/

For example, you might first use vim to create the file:

Code: Select all

vim /etc/systemd/system/nagios.service

Insert the following text into that service:

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Nagios Core Monitoring Daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
User=nagios
Group=nagios
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nagios start
ExecStop=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nagios stop
ExecReload=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nagios reload

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Once generated, you should be capable of calling it via systemctl:

Code: Select all

systemctl stop nagios

Code: Select all

systemctl start nagios

Sorry, still getting the same error after doing that. (Job for nagios.service failed because a timeout was exceeded...) and after typing "systemctl status nagios.service" I get the same than what's said before (Failed to start LSB: start and stop Nagios monitoring server.)
I'm using Fedora 23. Any other suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Try installing Nagios Core 4.1.1 (or at least 4.0.4). This was a bug, that was fixed in 4.0.4.

I had the same error with exit code 8 and i figured out that i had mispelled a "define command", i had written "commadn" instead of "command". Then i managed to "sudo service nagios restart".
