How to start zabbix-1.4.2 on boot ?

[tahir.bhatti]

Hello

I use cron job for the startup of zabbix server and also for Linux client on boot. So my question is that, is there any other way to start zabbix server and agent on boot, I mean any script for it ......

hello Tahir,

the service startup scripts [those at /etc/init.d] are what you are looking for . take a look at this (http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3280)

a search for 'init scripts', 'init.d' or 'init' may help too

if you cant find one that works 'out-of-the-box' , you will have to write your own . in this case, as a starting point I suggest you to study the inetd [or xinetd] on your system . both [zabbix and inetd] need the network up and start a daemon passing some configuration...

hope it helps,
best,
