Apply Configuration fails with XI 2014* on RHEL 6.6

[wakeaney]

I've installed XI on 2 different RHEL systems, and encountered the same problem on both.
restart_nagios_with_export.sh attempts to execute su root -c "./manage_services.sh restart nagios", which fails because su(1) can't get a tty for the password prompt:

Code: Select all

cmdsubsys.log
Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check
RET: 0
standard in must be a tty
OUTPUT=RET: 0
RETURNCODE=6

Instead, restart_nagios_with_export.sh should be using sudo(8), as is configured in /etc/sudoers(5):

Code: Select all

/etc/sudoers
NAGIOSXIWEB ALL = NOPASSWD:/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/manage_services.sh *

Here's a proposed patch, that works on both installations:

What version of XI are you running? I am running the latest patch (2014r2.6) and the script is fixed:

Code: Select all

if [ $ret -eq 0 ]; then

    # Restart Nagios
    sudo $BASEDIR/manage_services.sh restart nagios
