zabbix start stop

[tx4real]

Greetings:


OK, I can start zabbix with ./zabbix_server, but how do
I stop and/or refresh zabbix ?

i.e.

Is there a zabbix start|stop|refresh option that I'm missing ?


Thanks,



JZB

You can either put in a system startup script or create an init file for it and make it a service. I run fedora/ red hat systems and someone on the forums had an init script already made. There are a few different distros already made for download. Just search on startup script

RE: Zabbix start stop

Thanks ... I will do the search on startup script.

Thanks ... I will do the search on startup script.

Watch the directory /.../zabbix/misc/init.d/<your distribution>/

There you will find the start | stop | restart scripts. But make sure that you have changed the path into the script.

And how to do the same on Solaris 10?

Tweak this however you need. This is what I use and put in /etc/init.d/zabbix_server

#!/sbin/sh

CAT=/usr/bin/cat
KILL=/usr/bin/kill

SU_USER=zabbix
ZABBIX_SERVER=/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server
PIDFILE=/var/tmp/zabbix_server.pid


stop_service() {
    if [  -r $PIDFILE  -a  ! -z ${PIDFILE}  ]; then
        PID=`${CAT} ${PIDFILE}`
    fi
    if [  ${PID:=0} -gt 1 -a  ! "X$PID" = "X "  ]; then
        ${KILL} ${PID}
    else
        echo "Unable to read PID file $PIDFILE"
    fi
}

start_service() {
    # XXX We really should check if the service is already going, but
    # XXX we will opt out at this time.

    # Start zabbix_server
    echo "starting $ZABBIX_SERVER... \c"         ; 
    su ${SU_USER} -c ${ZABBIX_SERVER}

    zabbix_rc=$?
    if [ $zabbix_rc -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "$0: Error ${zabbix_rc} starting ${ZABBIX_SERVER}... bailing."
        exit $zabbix_rc
    fi
    echo done.
}

case $1 in

    start_service

    stop_service

    stop_service

    echo "$0:  usage:  $0 {start|stop|restart}"
    ;;
esac

Well, I've already wrote pretty much the same script which in the end just kills the process. I thought there might be a way to tell process to shut down by itself with proper internal exit procedures (like softly close all handles, sessions and so on)
