Moving /home/nagios to a different location?

The company I work for has a standard of putting home directories in a different partition called /u01/home, instead of the default /home. Is there an easy way to switch to the company standard or is something we should just have an exception for?

XI/core does not use the home directory for almost anything other than a cookie file for curl. Feel free to move it, though you may want to symlink it back to /home/nagios just in case. Just a disclaimer: moving/linking any default locations is officially unsupported and your mileage may vary. But, symlinking should be fine.

So just set the nagios home as /u01/home/nagios in the passwd and then do the following
Code: Select all
cd /u01/home
ln -s /home/nagios nagios
