Nagios init script not working on Ubuntu 12.04

Alternatively, do this to install nagios on ubuntu 12.04:


# apt-get install nagios3 nagios-plugins

The packages are quite good, and imho there is nothing quick about that quickstart guide.

Kind regards,
Pall Sigurdsson

You could try replacing the line that mentions functions with: 

. /lib/lsb/init-functions 



Note the full stop at the start is required. 



I believe this is the Ubuntu equivalent.

Functions is a file on rhel-based systems and provides common start/stop routines. I dont use Ubuntu myself but if you figure out how to make it work let me know. If I get some time I'll see if I still have an ubuntu test VM to look at.

Hi, 

I just followed the instructions on 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html to 
install the latest stable release of Nagios (3.5) on a fresh Ubuntu 
12.04 machine. Everything went fine, but when I try to start nagios 
using /etc/init.d/nagios start, I get following error: 

/etc/init.d/nagios: 20: .: Can't open /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions 

There is no file at /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. It seems like the 
Makefile could not put the functions file at /etc/rc.d/init.d ? Is it 
a bug or I missed something? 

Regards 
Abhinav
