Thanks, I copied the daemon-init script to /etc/init.d/nagios, and t  
works great. Am I right in thinking that to make Nagios start at  
system bootup, I have to create a link to /etc/init.d/nagios in  
/etc/rcS.d, and then enable nagios for my default runlevel with  
sysv-rc-conf, or just linking in the appropriate directory?

Many thanks
Harry Rickards
