sed: can't read /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: No such file or directory

Hi @lee.krause,

Normally, this error is due to a missing a package. Is xinetd installed and running on your system?

Code: Select all

 rpm -qa | grep xinetd
service xinetd status

Are you installing as root?

Code: Select all

#Log in as root and run the following:
cd /tmp
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
tar xzf linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
cd linux-nrpe-agent
./fullinstall

Let me know if that works for you. Thanks.

Looks like that worked. Maybe I was using an old agent.

Thanks!
