Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios kept from restarting after reboot by lockfile

2010-12-21 Thread Daniel Wittenberg
So are you using the actual reboot command not shutdown -r now which is a little friendlier? The standard nagios shutdown script should take care of cleaning those up for you. Otherwise putting something like: rm -f lockfile; service nagios start in your rc.local would take care of it. But when

Good stuff, Dan. I was not aware of the differences between how the reboot and shutdown commands handle the reboot process. Turns out that we're doing a reboot -f, which explains why I have orphaned PID files laying around. I'm going to make the call right now that to fight the fight to have
