Setup Zabbix_server as a service?

[Jeffj]

I have Zabbix 1.4.1 up and running on Open Suse 10.2. But the Zabbix_server is not setup as a service, so it is not starting up automatically with the system. I am starting it manually now on each system reboot

How can i get the Zabbix_server.exe setup as a service?

there should be a script in the misc/init.d folder in the zabbix source that you can use. Don't know how to install it in suse for sure but for redhat clones you copy the script to /etc/init.d and then do "chkconfig –level 3 zabbix_server on" to set it to autostart.

Thanks for the info Swaterhouse. It at least got me pointed in the write direction.

The service is there now. But it still will not start. I get the following error. when trying to start the service.

/etc/init.d/zabbix_server start retuned 5 (program is not installed).
/etc/local/bin not installed!

Any Idea's?

The startup file you should use is :
/usr/local/src/zabbix-1.4.1/misc/init.d/suse/9.3
where /usr/local/src is the place where you extracted the archive.

You should then edit the file (that why you get an error) to specify the good path to your binary.
