Solaris 10 NRPE Agent Fails with Some Updates

[mikew]

The NRPE agent used is the install is the one included in the Solaris Wizard. Installing the NRPE agent on Solaris 10 update 10 or later creates the following error:

Jun 6 13:03:43 cdvarap1 svc.startd[7]: [ID 652011 daemon.warning] svc:/application/nagios/nrpe:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/nrpe start" failed with exit status 137.
Jun 6 13:03:43 cdvarap1 last message repeated 2 times
Jun 6 13:03:43 cdvarap1 svc.startd[7]: [ID 748625 daemon.error] application/nagios/nrpe:default failed: transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details)

In other words, the daemon does not start as there is an issue.The question is, does the Solaris NRPE agent that is in the Wizard only work with certain Solaris 10 updates?

Very possible. The init system or a dependency might have changed. Shell error 137/127 can usually be attributed to a SIGKILL like a (kill -9). Do you have any more verbose debug, log, or trace information?
What release are you running specifically:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/release
