[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#689631: nscca: /etc/init.d/nsca fails at boot time

[oz]

Package: nsca
Version: 2.9.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

nsca daemon does not start after boot on a system with tmpfs on /run. The init-script just makes the directory /var/run/nagios an then exits silently with 'exit 1'.

A suggested patch for /etc/init.d/nsca is:

diff -Naur nsca-2.9.1-2/nsca nsca-new/nsca
--- nsca-2.9.1-2/nsca   2012-10-04 17:42:39.000000000 +0200

 if [ ! -d "/var/run/nagios" ]; then
-    mkdir -p /var/run/nagios || log_failure_msg "couldn't create /var/run/nagios"
-    exit 1
+   mkdir -p /var/run/nagios || { log_failure_msg "couldn't create /var/run/nagios"; exit 1; }
 fi
 
 case "$1" in

Thanks.
