[Nagiosplug-help] Solaris 10 nrpe

[Daniel MacKay]

Hey, guys, I am a beginner with nrpe.

Ineed some help understanding the right way to run nrpe under Solaris 10. Solaris 10 doesn't have inetd; if it did, it would be a no-brainer. I don't want to install an inetd just to run one service.

So - does it run as a daemon? If so, what starts it up?  Is there a Solaris 10 service definition for it? Or do you start it with a "legacy" /etc/init.d/nrpe sort of thing?

If it's not a daemon, how does a TCP connection to e.g. port 5666 get hooked up to nrpe?

Any tips would be appreciated.
