nrpe running with wrong file

[Pratapa]

Hi,

On one of the client machines nrpe.cfg is located in two paths
1. /etc/nrpe.cfg
2. /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg

when we run ps -ef|grep nrpe, the output is showing as

$ps -ef|grep nrpe.cfg
nagios <pid> /usr/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nrpe.cfg

Expected output:
$ps -ef|grep nrpe.cfg
nagios <pid> /usr/sbin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -n -d

what should be done to run nrpe with the file /usr/loca/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg during next reboot.

You might want to look at the start script for nrpe and edit it. I'd guess a version not from nagios was installed and the version from nagios was also installed.
What OS? I'd maybe start with a yum list nrpe or what rpm -qa nrpe.
