Public bug reported:
Hi folks,
if you change the user and group of the icinga process in the icinga.cfg
file, there is an error message during restart:
root@monitoring:~# LC_ALL=C /etc/init.d/icinga restart
* Restarting icinga monitoring daemon icinga
chown: invalid user: `nagios:nagios'
The problem is the hard coded user and group in the init script, in line
126:
start () {
...
chown nagios:nagios $DIRECTORY
...
}
That's why I would suggest following changes in the init script:
--- icinga 2012-01-16 07:42:34.0 +0100
+++ icinga-new 2013-06-01 14:55:10.545363714 +0200
