Well, This would solely depend on what distro you are running it on I would imagine. I run mine on redhat, so when I installed it it put the proper files in the /etc/rc.d directories and /etc/init.d and all I had to do was chkconfig --add nagios.
Not sure what distro you are using but you could add it to your init/rc directories the old POSIX way if you aren't using a package manager or service control files, otherwise you could start it up in /etc/rc.local file. As for making sure to restart if it dies, well, that could be done by writing a little bash script that check to see if the nagios process itself is running and if not start it up through the service control or command line string. You really needed to provide a little more info like what distro etc you are running, but that's the gist of it. -Donnell Lewis On Tue, 2006-11-14 at 13:55 -0600, Brian Loe wrote: > What is the best, safest way to have Nagios start at boot?
