Updating nrpe to 2.7.1 removes the old init.d script and does not install a new one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =net-analyzer/nagios-nrpe-2.7.1 2. /etc/init.d/nrpe restart -bash: /etc/init.d/nrpe: No such file or directory
So it was. The nrpe script was tied to the version number, though it hasn't changed since 2.5.1. The fix is in nagios-nrpe-2.7.1-r1.
