starting nagioo at boot time

[jeff vier]

why rc4?  rc4 isn't used (yet?) in Linux (unless Debian has elected to
use it for something...unlikely.)

rc3 is console-only and rc5 is GUI (*usually*, and unless something has
changed recently, Debian follows this standard).  Usually, an admin
links to, at least, 3 and 5 for start and and the others for kill for
such a service/

Also, you can't just link it with it's stock name "(nagios"), you *must*
append either 'Snn' or 'Knn' denoting start or kill, respectively, with
'nn' changed to a two-digit number to delineate the script's order in
relation to the other scripts at that runlevel.  Thus, low numbers (00)
start first or get killed first; obviously, then, high numbers (99)
start later (which is when nagios should start) or die later.

So, run something like 'ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rc3.d/S98nagios
/etc/rc5.d/S98nagios /etc/rc0.d/K00nagios /etc/rc1.d/K00nagios
/etc/rc2.d/K00nagios /etc/rc6.d/K00nagios'

Notably, as well, there are command line tools that take care of this
for you.  In RedHat and derivates (Mandrake, SuSE, etc), it's
'chkconfig'

Good luck.  Be careful.  Breaking your init scripts would be bad.
