service nagios reload not existent

[Pitone_Maledetto]

Hi all,
I have installed the latest version of Nagios 4.2.1 on Debian Jessie.
All is fine but the service is missing the reload option.

root@nagios-01: service nagios reload
Usage: /etc/init.d/nagios {start|stop|status|restart|try-restart|force-reload}

Now this is my nagios.service file in /run/systemd/generator.late/nagios.service

Code: Select all

# Automatically generated by systemd-sysv-generator

Description=LSB: Example initscript

and this is my /etc/init.d/nagios file

Code: Select all

DAEMON=/usr/local/nagios/bin/$NAME
DAEMON_ARGS="-d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg"

Can anyone please point me to the right direction in order to solve the issue?
Thanks

The issue is your init script is for systemd and using the skeleton base. When you are running through the install process of Nagios, you'll at one point run make install-init. This will create the correct init file for you.

See this document for reference - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Source.pdf

Here is what you'll need to run (might need to modify configure command based on your system) -

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagios/nagios-4.2.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf nagios-4.2.0.tar.gz
cd nagios-4.2.0/
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd --with-mail=/usr/bin/sendmail --with-httpd-conf=/etc/apache2/
make install-init
cat /etc/init.d/nagios
service nagios reload

Thanks rkennedy,
re running the make install-init solved the issue.
During the installation I followed the document that you have pointed me to and I have realized my mistake.
Since the guide does not provide Debian instructions I went with the closest one: For Ubuntu users using systemd thinking that systemd was used by default in Debian.
Therefore:

Code: Select all

sudo cp /etc/init.d/skeleton /etc/init.d/nagios
sudo vi /etc/init.d/nagios (and add the following lines)
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

which replaced the whole content of /etc/init.d/nagios

Thank you again for your help.
Happy Nagiosing!

I figured that's what happened, I did the same thing brainlessly not thinking on a test machine, and sure enough walked myself backwards through it to solve this one.

Going to mark this one as resolved, and close it up!
