nrpe doesn't start after rebooting solaris server

[Evgeny Stepanov]

There are 2 different ways of running nrpe, standalone daemon or through 
inetd.
as most *nix flavours there has to be /etc/rcX.d/ directories with 
symlinks to /etc.init.d/executable which has to start at particular 
runlevel. So put symlink to your /etc/init.d/nrpe as /etc/rc3.d/S20nrpe 
and i will start as standalone daemon at runlevel 3. Or, another 
approach, make sure inetd daemon is running and you have configured nrpe 
to start like you mentioned already. inetd needs to start the same way 
as i decribed before. Good luck.
