[Thomas Schweikle]

Nagios nrpe-server does not start automatically after system reboot.

it is set to start:
root@vh01:/home/tschweikle# ll -R /etc/rc[0-6].d/*nrpe*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2011-03-17 00:36 /etc/rc0.d/K20nagios-nrpe-server -> ../init.d/nagios-nrpe-server*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2011-03-17 00:36 /etc/rc6.d/K20nagios-nrpe-server -> ../init.d/nagios-nrpe-server*

I have to start nrpe manually by giving:
sudo /etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server start
