Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team
On Linux machines, we use service xinetd status/start/stop/restart commands for nrpe agent.
However my client is not ok with this and they are saying xinetd has ability to cause a server outage. Do we have any alternate method to install nrpe instead of xinet? please reply. Thanks.

You could run it in daemon mode You need to make sure you add their Nagios server to the allowed_hosts field in the nrpe.cfg

Hello, @jyoti22. Please use this manual to uninstall the NRPE:

The newest version of NRPE runs as a standalone NRPE daemon. Here are the installation instructions:
