Package: nagios2-common
Version: 2.6-2
/etc/init.d/nagios2 reload removes the pidfile.
1. First a normal startup
debtest:/etc/nagios2/conf.d# /etc/init.d/nagios2 start
Starting nagios2 monitoring daemon: nagios2.
debtest:/etc/nagios2/conf.d# ps -ef|grep nagios2
nagios 22240 1 0 15:17 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/nagios2 -d
/etc/nagios2/nagios.cfg
root 22249 19633 0 15:17 pts/0 00:00:00 grep nagios2
pidfile exists:
debtest:/etc/nagios2/conf.d# ls -ltr /var/run/nagios2/nagios2.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 6 2007-03-01 15:18 /var/run/nagios2/nagios2.pid
2. then reload
debtest:/etc/nagios2/conf.d# /etc/init.d/nagios2 reload
Reloading nagios2 monitoring daemon configuration files: nagios2.
no pidfile:
debtest:/etc/nagios2/conf.d# ls -ltr /var/run/nagios2/nagios2.pid
ls: /var/run/nagios2/nagios2.pid: No such file or directory
3. running the reload again
debtest:~# /etc/init.d/nagios2 reload
Reloading nagios2 monitoring daemon configuration files: nagios2* Not
running.
failed!
debtest:~# ps -ef|grep nagios2
nagios 2324 1 0 15:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/nagios2 -d
/etc/nagios2/nagios.cfg
root 5060 2520 0 15:50 pts/0 00:00:00 grep nagios2
After the pidfile is removed the init.d script is toothless, stop does
not work, restart starts another daemon etc.
The problem lies in the reload function that calls killproc from
/lib/lsb/init-functions . Before returning 0 killproc removes the
pidfile. Nagios2 probably had better using something like:
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 1 --quiet --oknodo --pidfile
$THEPIDFILE --exec $DAEMON
debtest:/etc/nagios2/conf.d# cat /etc/debian_version
