[PATCH] daemon-init.in - init script

[Sven-Göran Bergh]

Hi,

I have done some adjustments to the init script (daemon-init.in, see
attachment). Parameters already defined in nagios.cfg are also defined
in the init script. Thus, changes made to nagios.cfg will be unknown to
the init script. This patch makes the init script read these params from
nagios.cfg instead (ex: log_file, nagios_user, etc).

I have only tested this with ash and bash under Linux, so other
environments need also be tested.

There are still minor cosmetics to take care of though. Unfortunately
that involves the ./configure process, and I am sure there are a lot of
thoughts behind that one, so I do not dare touch it :-)

Consider the following lines:

prefix=@prefix@
exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@
NagiosBin=@bindir@/nagios
NagiosCfgFile=@sysconfdir@/nagios.cfg

If you do not explicitly define your paths during the ./configure (ex:
--bindir=/usr/local/nagios/bin). The above lines will become:

prefix=/usr/local/nagios
exec_prefix=${prefix}
NagiosBin=${exec_prefix}/bin/nagios
NagiosCfgFile=${prefix}/etc/nagios.cfg

Since the first two paths are not needed elsewhere in the init script I
would prefer skip them and get:

NagiosBin=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
NagiosCfgFile=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

But for that to happen some tweaking needs to be done in the
configuration process, which currently is out of my reach.

Meanwhile, please feel free to test this patch on as many platforms as
possible.

Take care
/Sven
