This is why nrpe writes its pidfile in /var/run/nagios by default. On a clean 10.04 install: --- root@cacti01:~# grep ^PIDDIR /etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server PIDDIR=/var/run/nagios
root@cacti01:~# grep pid /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg pid_file=/var/run/nagios/nrpe.pid root@cacti01:~# grep nrpe_user /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg nrpe_user=nagios root@cacti01:~# ls -lh /var/run/ | grep nagios drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios root 4.0K 2011-11-25 17:24 nagios root@cacti01:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS Release: 10.04 Codename: lucid --- Could it be that you upgraded without properly updating your nrpe.cfg? The above is up to date lucid, if I remember correctly, both the default nrpe.cfg and default init script are identical in 11.10 but I may be wrong, if I'm, then Sander-oele's bug is still valid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883904 Title: nit.d script incorrectly assumes PID file --> can't stop service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nagios-nrpe/+bug/883904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
