how to start zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd on boot

[beaujoire]

Hello,

I'am using zabbix 1.8.1 and I want to do an automatic start of the deamons "zabbix_server" and "zabbix_agentd" after a shutdown.
These deamons are in "usr/local/sbin"

I put it in /etc/init.d/ and i've make symbolic links in /etc/rc2.d/ and etc/rc6.d but it doesn't work.

Manually, "service zabbix_agentd start" is ok but service zabbix_agentd stop doesn't work.

Any Ideas ? Thanks

You should put the links in the correct directories.
/etc/rc2.d/ is for the runlevel 2
But the usual runlevel of the system is 3, or 5 if it is using X's.
You can check your runlevel simply by typing "runlevel" at the prompt.
Or in the /etc/inittab file searching for "initdefault"

So you should create links in the /etc/rc3.d or /etc/rc5.d (you can create it in both directories)

My runlevel is 2.
I also created links in rc3.d and rc5.d but it doesn't work.

Why not use the init scripts that comes with zabbix.

Should be in ~/zabbix-1.x.x/misc/init.d/

Try links like those:

to stop
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S85zabbix-agent
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85zabbix-agent
/etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S85zabbix-agent
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S85zabbix-agent

to start
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K15zabbix-agent
/etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K15zabbix-agent
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K15zabbix-agent
