Project Notes
+++ NRPE init script Is this provided with NRPE somewhere? I don't know. It seems weird that it isn't. Anyways, I modified my apache init script to start NRPE. Maybe it is useful to you as well ++++ Installation This is a very standard procedure. Add 'nrpe' to '/etc/init.d/' or wherever your init scripts go. Then add nrpe to the run levels you want it to start by creating symlinks or for Red Hat type distributions /sbin/chkconfig --add nrpe /sbin/chkconfig --list nrpe It will automatically start in run levels 3 and 5 by default.

Adjust Script to enable SSL
by blackrino9, April 30, 2017

remove -n from line 30 if you want to use SSL OPTIONS='-c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d'


useful but needed modification

thanks for this. I needed to modify it to be correct for install from repo, you assumed source install in the script. Noticed on RHEL 5.11, rpm from EPEL also didn't have init script :( Also a couple variable were mixed up. fixed it up and it works.
