Nagios Support Forum

I am having troubles getting the Mac OS X agent installed on my systems, I get the following error when I try and run the ./fullinstall.
Anyone else seen this issue before?

What version of the agent are you running? What version of XI did you get the agent package from? What version of Mac OS X are you running?

I am currently running the version that this link pointed me too. http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ent.tar.gz
I am running Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

I have tried this one two different systems, same version of OS though.

For the record, we did a quickstart and experienced the issues there.

henryg, can you try running the script like "bash -x ./fullinstall" and post the last few lines of the output? The -x switch will show us exactly what arguments are appearing invalid.

+ launchctl start org.nagios.nrpe
launchctl start error: Invalid argument

This: "launchctl start org.nagios.nrpe" should be a valid command... Can you try running it as root (or with sudo) from the CLI and show us the output?
