Init.d scripts for CentOS 4.x

[NowVox]

Hey everyone,

I created init.d scripts for zabbix_agentd and zabbix_server that work with CentOS 4.x. They should also work with Whitebox Linux 4 and RHEL4.

They can be found here:

http://www.nowvox.com/contrib/zabbix/zabbix_server

http://www.nowvox.com/contrib/zabbix/zabbix_agentd

1. Copy them to /etc/rc.d/init.d/
2. Run /sbin/chkconfig --add zabbix_agentd
3. Run /sbin/chkconfig --add zabbix_server

Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

init.d scripts for centos 4.x

I got this

[root@localhost init.d]# /etc/init.d/zabbix_server start
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

when trying to start after following your instrcutions. Is there something wrong with my bash? I changed the path to zabbix_server to /usr/bin

Well, it seems the scripts are not working ok.

Rebooting the server doesn't remove the pid files, and therefor zabbix won't start again after a reboot. (both server and agent)

Any idea?

same for me (but i use different initscripts). I would really be interested in how to make the scripts work correctly...

Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy week. I think the issue with the pid file not being removed is that on my system I have the pid file in /tmp as per the installation instructions. The pid files get removed on my system during a reboot/restart. Is anyone else placing the pid file in /tmp or are you guys placing it in the more common /var/run directory? I'd prefer to have it in /var/run but placed it in /tmp because the installation docs said to.

I'll take a look this weekend and post what I find. :-)

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't think there is anything wrong with your BASH ( because if your BASH was borked you'd definitely know it ) Changing the path set in the $progdir variable in the init script should not affect anything ( unless zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd aren't installed there :-) ). Try changing the first line of the init scripts from #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/sh and then run the init scripts. I've made this change to the files hosted on my site as well.

Let me know how it goes.

Just to confirm, the script is working fine after i moved the pid file from /var/tmp to /tmp.

thanks

If the files are in dos format(CRLF), change them to unix format(LF) and try again
