Then I prefer to delete the existing installs and install linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz from scratch. It seems a lot easier. How can I delete the existing installs? Would you send me the instructions on that?
Thank you!

Something similar to this should do the trick:
Code: Select all
delgroup nagios
deluser nagios
rm -f /etc/xinet.d/nrpe
service xinetd restart
rm -rf /usr/local/nagios
Your file paths may vary.
Please note the last line will delete a lot of files, do not run this on a nagios server, only a server you want to remove nrpe on.

Can I just install linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz without deleting the existing installs?

As far as I know, it should work, but I have not tested this. You may want to look at what the fullinstall script is doing to make sure it doesn't interfere with anything that's in place.

I tried the linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz installation with and without deleting the existing installs. They both work.
Thank you so much for your help!

I didn't see any other issues so far. We are now ready to move forward with the purchase of Nagios XI. Thank you!
