The multiple “Shutting down…” shows up as the last entry in 
/var/log/ntopng/ntopng.log after a power on.  I thought maybe one of the two 
NICs needed more time during startup because the capture NIC is set to dhcp 
with no dhcp server to get an address from so I added a delayed startup for 

 /etc/init.d/ntopng via the following commands

 

update-rc.d ntopng remove

update-rc.d ntopng start 80 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 .

 

Now ntopng starts up properly.

 

I found this temporary solution by googling:

ntopng autostart

the 2nd search result had the update-rc.d suggestion

 

Instead of adding a delay, I’d rather edit the iface section of 
/etc/networks/interfaces with something more appropriate for the capture NIC 
but I’m not sure what to replace ‘dhcp’ with. Suggestions?  I’m also still 
seeing this in syslog during ntopng startup

Running the command and rebooting does not fix getting this msg on reboot.

I've just tried and it works fine here on ubuntu 14. Package installation adds 
ntopng to the defaults runlevels on post install.
