[Zabbix-developers] OpenBSD startup script entries

[Sebastian R. <Seb...@ge...>]

Hi again,


I was wondering if you'd care about OpenBSD startup script entries:

in /etc/rc.local, add:
>>
# Zabbix Monitoring Server
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server ]; then
  su -l _zabbix -c "/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server 2>&1|logger"
  echo -n ' zabbix_server'
fi

# Zabbix Monitoring Agent
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd ]; then
  su -l _zabbix -c "/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd 2>&1|logger"
  echo -n ' zabbix_agentd'
fi
<<

in /etc/rc.shutdown add:
>>
# Stop Zabbix Monitoring Server
if [ -f /var/tmp/zabbix_server.pid ]; then
  su -l _zabbix -c "kill `cat /var/tmp/zabbix_server.pid`"
  rm -f /var/tmp/zabbix_server.pid
fi

# Stop Zabbix Monitoring Agent
if [ -f /var/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid ]; then
  su -l _zabbix -c "kill `cat /var/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid`"
  rm -f /var/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid
fi
<<

For rc.local the entries go beneath
"echo -n 'starting local daemons:'"
and above
"echo '.'"
Keep in mind your database should have been started before, as well.

For rc.shutdown it doesn't matter (I guess), just put it to the end of
the file. Probably it's best to shut down the database after
zabbix_server.

Output will be logged to syslog (/var/log/messages) through logger.
I presume your zabbix user is called "_zabbix" and you didn't change the
default .pid-File location.

I tested this on OpenBSD 3.9 as well as 4.1. But since I'm fairly new to
OpenBSD, I might have some mistakes there.


Greetings
Sebastian
