Are you booting up in runlevel 2? Find it out with:
runlevel

Manu,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, runlevel says ‘N 2’

It is strange in two ways:
– all the other servers start ok, but manually there is no problem.
– I had this same problem with rev. 1196, on Debian Etch, so perhaps it is something I do wrong, but I wouldn’t know where to look

Do ls -l in /etc/rc2.d/
Has the pandora_plugin the same link as the other ones?

Here’s the relevant portion of /etc/rc2.d/

S90pandora_network -> /etc/init.d/pandora_network
S90pandora_plugin -> /etc/init.d/pandora_plugin
S90pandora_prediction -> /etc/init.d/pandora_prediction
S90pandora_recon -> /etc/init.d/pandora_recon
S90pandora_server -> /etc/init.d/pandora_server
S90pandora_snmpconsole -> /etc/init.d/pandora_snmpconsole
S90pandora_wmi -> /etc/init.d/pandora_wmi

This is what I get at boot time:

[…]
Pandora FMS Plugin Server 3.0-dev Build PS090305 Copyright (c) ArticaST
This program is Opensource, licensed under the terms of GPL License version 2.

[E] pandora_exec not found

Cannot start Pandora FMS Plugin Server. Aborted.
[…]

Right afterwards however, I start the plugin manually by entering ‘/etc/init.d/pandora_plugin start’, and it starts ok.

(Just to be complete, I am working in Virtualbox)

You might want to be sure that pandora_exec is in the path, if not, copy it there (usually /bin or /usr/bin/ would do the trick).
Maybe when you run it manually it goes up but not working properly.

Manu,

pandora_exec was indeed missing from ‘/usr/bin’. I didn’t dare simply copy it, so I made a symbolic link like so:

‘ln -s /usr/local/bin/pandora_exec /usr/bin/pandora_exec’

Next I rebooted and this time the plugin server came up with all the others.

Thanks for your advice and patience
Antonio

Glad to hear you had it sorted out!
