Start Zabbix on Server Boot (Ubuntu 12.04)

[Trips2007]

I followed the documentation on installing Zabbix from source and it is working great, except that zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd do not automatically start when the system is booted.

I found that the following entries were made for me

/etc/services

zabbix-agent 10050/tcp # Zabbix Agent
zabbix-agent 10050/udp
zabbix-trapper 10051/tcp # Zabbix Trapper
zabbix-trapper 10051/udp

When I issue the commands

zabbix-server

zabbix-agentd

from a shell, both start just fine.

What is the correct procedure to ensure that zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd automatically start when the Ubuntu server is booted?

Also asked on ServerFault:

I think this is what I used to use on Ubuntu. This should point you in the right direction...

Copy the init.d scripts to the right spot:
sudo cp misc/init.d/debian/zabbix-server /etc/init.d
sudo cp misc/init.d/debian/zabbix-agent /etc/init.d


Set the correct permissions and set Zabbix to start when the machine boots:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix-server
sudo update-rc.d zabbix-server defaults
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent
sudo update-rc.d zabbix-agent defaults
