NetXMS Support Forum

Hello everyone.  I am trying to install netxms-client from the repo onto Ubuntu 14.04.  It installs without errors, but it doesn't create init scripts.  I've hunted around for anything named "nxa*" on the system; I'm not finding the init scripts and I'm not finding any default configuration file.

Any ideas where these went?

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/netxms.list:

deb     "http://packages.netxms.org/debian" wheezy main


apt-cache show netxms-client:

Thanks!

Problem was the I was trying to install "netxms-client" when I should have been installing "netxms-agent".  No idea what netxms-client is for, but it does install a few things (including netxms-base).  If it is just a remnant of something that isn't used, perhaps pulling it from the repo would prevent people like me (aka idiots) from using the wrong package...

netxms-client contains CLI client tools (nxevent, nxalarm, etc.).
These are useful and as far as I know fully supported and maintained.

If you are new, I recommend watching the Video Tutorial series, you can find it stickied in General Support.

Thanks tomaskir.  Actually, I'm trying to write a Chef cookbook for netxms right now and was stuck without the init scripts.  Now I am good   Will share with the Chef supermarket and drop a note here once it is fully baked...
