Inintialization on MySQL when nagios starts

[matt.lilek]

How do i get MySQL to start when nagios does? Its in the startup folder but it doesnt start when nagios does.

mysqld should not need to restart when nagios does, it just runs as a service. It should start on boot in runtime "default", and just run after that. Do you have a reason you need to restart mysqld when nagios restarts?

[lmiltchev]

abrist is correct - it should start at boot time. See if it is added to the chkconfig:

Code: Select all

chkconfig --list | grep mysqld

If it is not there, you can add it by running:

Code: Select all

chkconfig mysqld on

3 and 5 were on and the rest (0,1,2,4,6) were off. After running the command it turned 2 on as well. Now 2345 are on and 0,1,6 are off. Is that the way it is supposed to be?

[scottwilkerson]

Generally, 3,5 on the rest off would be standard, but that should work as well

is it running?

Code: Select all

service mysqld status

"chkconfig --list | grep nagios" shows that Nagios + XI are turned on for 3 and 5, so that's all that MySQL needs to run on for Nagios to work. Anything else should not matter.
