How to run Pandora FMS agent on the system startup

Question

I’ve installed the pandora_agent on my GNU/Linux system and I want it to run every time the computer starts up, how can I do that automatically?

Answer

First of all, copy pandora_agent_daemon to /etc/init.d

Then if you want the pandora_agent_daemon starts in your system boot, just:

 ln -s /etc/init.d/pandora_agent_daemon /etc/rcX.d/S99pandora_agent_daemon

Where the X is the run level you’re booting into. Then, to make sure your pandora_agent_daemon is being correctly switched off when you make a shutdown, or power off:

 ln -s /etc/init.d/pandora_agent_daemon /etc/rc0.d/K99pandora_agent_daemon

 ln -s /etc/init.d/pandora_agent_daemon /etc/rc6.d/K99pandora_agent_daemon
