Uninstall standalone NRPE

[InscrutableDude]

Hi,

I installed the agent on multiple servers. On one, the ./fullinstall script seems to have installed both xinetd version AND the standalone, and so they are conflicting trying to use the same port. What commands would I use to uninstall ONLY the standalone?

Environment:
Ubuntu 16.04

Thanks in advance!

You could either remove the xinetd configuration for nrpe (/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe) or remove the init.d script for nrpe. Both of those things leverage the exact same binary, they just do it in different ways.

a handy tool i've found is locate, which might help you -

Code: Select all

apt-get install mlocate

let it finish... then run...

updatedb

now let's make this easy to find the NRPE files...

locate nrpe
