Thanks for your reply. I used a prefix in 'configure' to change my path : ./configure --prefix=<tt>/hawai/composants</tt>/nagios --with-gd-inc=/usr/include --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-command-group=nagios make all -j 4 make install make install-init make install-commandmode make install-config make install-daemoninit But I don't understand why you have a nagios3 daemon. Into the Makefile I have : install-daemoninit: $(INSTALL) -m 755 -d $(INIT_OPTS) $(DESTDIR)$(INIT_DIR) $(INSTALL) -m 755 $(INIT_OPTS) daemon-init $(DESTDIR)$(INIT_DIR)/nagios I could not find a string like '<tt>nagios3Waiting for nagios3 daemon to die.................' into the </tt>daemon-init file. What's wrong ?

This path has noting to do with our packages. Also the service would be nagios3, not nagios. root@smithers:/etc/init.d# service nagios3 stop Stopping nagios3 monitoring daemon: nagios3Waiting for nagios3 daemon to die................. . root@smithers:/etc/init.d# service nagios3 status checking /usr/sbin/nagios3...failed (not running). root@smithers:/etc/init.d# service nagios3 start Starting nagios3 monitoring daemon: nagios3. root@smithers:/etc/init.d# service nagios3 status checking /usr/sbin/nagios3...done (running). root@smithers:/etc/init.d# Alex </tt>
