xinetd service restart

[jyoti22]

Hi Team
On Linux machines, we use service xinetd status/start/stop/restart commands for nrpe agent.
However my client is not ok with this and they are saying xinetd has ability to cause a server outage. Do we have any alternate method to install nrpe instead of xinet? please reply. Thanks.

You could run it in daemon mode

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -d -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg

You need to make sure you add their Nagios server to the allowed_hosts field in the nrpe.cfg

Hello, @jyoti22. Please use this manual to uninstall the NRPE:

The newest version of NRPE runs as a standalone NRPE daemon. Here are the installation instructions:
