nrpe doesn't start after rebooting solaris server

[Lalita Drolia]

Hi,

I rebooted a solaris server and nrpe did not start on its own. I was
able to resolve it by doing the following on solaris 10-

Add the following entry to /etc/inetd.conf: 

     nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios /usr/local/nagios/nrpe -c
/usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd

Then run the following command- 

#inetconv -i /etc/inetd.conf 

 

But "inetconv" command is not available in solaris 9 and 8. so nrpe is
not starting on those servers after a reboot.

My configuration on solaris 8 and 9 boxes is-

Add the following file "nrpe" under /etc/init.d -

#!/sbin/sh

#

# /etc/init.d/nagios startup script

#

case "$1" in

start)

[ -f /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg ] || exit 0

# start nagios

cd /usr/local/nagios

./nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --daemon

;;

stop)

# stop nagios

echo "use ps to kill nrpe"

;;

*)

echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"

exit 1

;;

esac

exit 0

now open nrpe.cfg in /usr/local/nagios and add server ip address

allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1, 172.22.48.7

Start nrpe as daemon in solaris by issuing following command-

#/usr/local/nagios/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --deamon

 

I tried starting nrpe with -inetd switch instead of as a daemon but the
process is not getting started.

 

Kindly help.

 

Regards,

Lalita
