Linux run script start zabbix agent hang

[stevenfoo]

Platform.
OS: CentOS 7 (installed)
Mysql: 5.6 (installed)
PHP: 2.4.10 (installed)
Zabbix: 2.4.3 (installed)

We current setting up the run level script to start the zabbix agent automatically.

service zabbix_agentd start

... will only prompt the following and then hang there

Starting zabbix_agentd (via systemctl):

We have to ctrl+c to exist the prompt.

While query the process the zabbix agent is started.

zabbix 5145 1 0 11:59 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd
zabbix 5146 5145 0 11:59 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd: collector [idle 1 sec]
zabbix 5147 5145 0 11:59 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd: listener #1 [waiting for connection]
zabbix 5148 5145 0 11:59 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd: listener #2 [waiting for connection]
zabbix 5149 5145 0 11:59 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd: listener #3 [waiting for connection]
zabbix 5150 5145 0 11:59 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd: active checks #1 [idle 1 sec]

However if we issue: service mysql stop

Stopping zabbix_agentd: [ OK ]

... nothing was stopped.

We have to issue the manual command /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd stop

Did we miss something ? Manually starting/stopping using the /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd works, however using service start/stop command does not work.

Attached is the script of zabbix_agentd.

Any help is appreciated.

I edit a start script, it will unzip the install package, and then edit /etc/profile to add $zabbix_home/sbin into $PATH.
After that, I can start zabbix using zabbix_agentd and using
kill `cat /tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid` to stop zabbix

Try changing your pid file location, I had a similar situation a while back.

Check the startup script and the zabbix_agentd.conf.

It should be '/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid' I believe.
