<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a strange "problem", let start with that im
not a Linux guru, quite a newbie.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have been running Nagios for almost a year now
everything working fine. Yesterday I noticed a strange thing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After developing a java pluging on a test machine
and running it there for a week or so we decided to move to our production
machine. We installed all the java things and copied the plugins. It did not
work !!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After a couple of hours I did get it to
work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I start Nagios with "service nagios start" it
doesnt work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>if I start with /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg it works.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I looked at the start script under /etc/rc.d/init.d
and noticed that it do "su -l nagios".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I tryed to do it manually;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>su -l nagios</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It still works.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What could be the problem when executing the start
script under /etc/rc.d/init.d ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV>
