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.

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?
