I changed the port number in both services and the nrpe.cfg file (even though there were no conflicts I could find) and I am able to start it up as a daemon. I can not get it to start by HUP'ing inetd but I am less concerned about that for the moment.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I did correct the line in the inetd.conf file as you suggested Phil.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Now it works as long as I specify the new port number with the check_nrpe command.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> Thank you very much for your help.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -Alex<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> -----Original Message----- From: Garrett, Matt M SITI-ITDIEEE [mailto:matt.garrett@shell.com] Sent: <st1:date Month="10" Day="30" Year="2003">Thursday, October 30, 2003</st1:date> <st1:time Hour="10" Minute="35">10:35 AM</st1:time> To: Alex St. Amand Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE just won't start on Solaris. <o:p> </o:p> <div> Alex<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Very odd<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> What config options did you give it.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Assuming you are using openssl , which version<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> What version of OS , Gcc compiler.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> since patch was applied , I asume a reboot was done.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> I asume it is the latest version of nrpe , from the web pages.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> I know when I first started looking at nrpe about 3 months ago it was a big job to get it working.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> But I thought the latest build worked fine.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> One last thing you could try is doing a truss on the process to see if that shows any thing usfull ?<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Let me know.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Matt<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> Matthew Garrett Unix System Support Shell Information Technology International Limited Seafield House, <st1:place>North Anderson Drive, <st1:City>Aberdeen</st1:City> <st1:PostalCode>AB15 6GZ</st1:PostalCode>, <st1:country-region>United Kingdom</st1:country-region></st1:place> <o:p></o:p> Tel: +44 (0)1224 81 8373 Other Tel: Internal 630 8373 Email: Matt.M.Garrett@is.shell.com Internet: <a href="http://www.shell.com/" target="_blank">http://www.shell.com</a> <o:p></o:p> <blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt; margin-left:3.75pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt'> -----Original Message----- From: Alex St. Amand [mailto:astamand@ati.com] Sent: <st1:date Month="10" Day="30" Year="2003">30 October 2003</st1:date> <st1:time Hour="15" Minute="23">15:23</st1:time> To: Garrett, Matt M SITI-ITDIEEE; 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE just won't start on Solaris.<o:p></o:p> Matt,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> That's the odd thing, the server port is correct:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg | grep server_port<o:p></o:p> server_port=5666<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I tried starting it as a daemon like this:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> ...and it just returns to the prompt.
