Alternatively, do this to install nagios on ubuntu 12.04:
# apt-get install nagios3 nagios-plugins The packages are quite good, and imho there is nothing quick about that quickstart guide.

I believe this is the Ubuntu equivalent. -- Gavin Grieve Systems Management Specialist | Datacom | Datacom House, 68 Jervois Quay, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand www.datacom.co.nz | PO Box 6376, Marion Square, Wellington, New Zealand 6141 From: Daniel Wittenberg [mailto:dwittenberg2...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 13 June 2013 7:30 a.m. To: Nagios Users List Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios init script not working on Ubuntu 12.04 Functions is a file on rhel-based systems and provides common start/stop routines. I dont use Ubuntu myself but if you figure out how to make it work let me know. If I get some time I'll see if I still have an ubuntu test VM to look at.

Everything went fine, but when I try to start nagios using /etc/init.d/nagios start, I get following error: /etc/init.d/nagios: 20: .: Can't open /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions There is no file at /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. It seems like the Makefile could not put the functions file at /etc/rc.d/init.d ? Is it a bug or I missed something?
