nrpe.service overwrite?

Post by Bitflogger »

Hi, I'm running v5.6.9 on a 64-bit VM CentOS 7 server.

My tech support says the last upgrade overwrites /usr/lib/systemd/system/nrpe.service

This causes a complication for them, but they have a work-around.

Can you give me more information on why this happens?

Thanks!

Hi Earl,
This causes a complication for them, but they have a work-around.
This most likely the result of the install script updating NRPE. What version did you upgrade from?

Also, can you describe the complication ( and the workaround)?

Thanks.

Hello,

On further examination, it seems that there was a "less than clear" result from a process related to extreme standardization (Puppet).

We have one System Administrator for about 100 servers.

Please close the case.
