Nagios init script not working on Ubuntu 12.04

[Gavin Grieve [DATACOM]]

You could try replacing the line that mentions functions with:
. /lib/lsb/init-functions

Note the full stop at the start is required.

I believe this is the Ubuntu equivalent.

Functions is a file on rhel-based systems and provides common start/stop routines. I dont use Ubuntu myself but if you figure out how to make it work let me know. If I get some time I'll see if I still have an ubuntu test VM to look at.

Hi,

I just followed the instructions on
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html to
install the latest stable release of Nagios (3.5) on a fresh Ubuntu
12.04 machine. Everything went fine, but when I try to start nagios
using /etc/init.d/nagios start, I get following error:

/etc/init.d/nagios: 20: .: Can't open /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

There is no file at /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. It seems like the
Makefile could not put the functions file at /etc/rc.d/init.d ? Is it
a bug or I missed something?

Regards
Abhinav
