after seing the bug report #19539 (about a broken nrpe init script) i found out that nagios-nsca has the same problem. the fix has the same form as the nrpe init script: nearly quoting bug report #19539: The init script needs to look like this to work: start() { ebegin "Starting nsca" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --name nsca \ --startas /usr/nagios/bin/nsca \ -- -c /etc/nagios/nsca.cfg --daemon eend $? "Failed to Start nsca" } instead of start() { ebegin "Starting nsca" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --name nsca \ --startas /usr/nagios/bin/nsca \ -c nagios:nagios \ -- -d /etc/nagios/nsca.cfg eend $? "Failed to Start nsca" } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: # /usr/nagios/bin/nsca --help NSCA - Nagios Service Check Acceptor Copyright (c) 2000-2003 Ethan Galstad (nagios@nagios.org) Version: 2.3 Last Modified: 01-26-2003 License: GPL Encryption Routines: AVAILABLE Usage: /usr/nagios/bin/nsca -c <config_file> [mode] Options: <config_file> = Name of config file to use [mode] = Determines how NSCA should run.
