Service commands - SUSE 11.x + FreeBSD 10.x

[box293]

I can install ndo (maint) on a SUSE 11.x server running Nagios Core 4.2.1.

The ndo2db service starts on boot (or manually) however other service commands fail:

localuser@core-034:~> sudo /sbin/service ndo2db start
Starting ndo2db                                                                                           done

localuser@core-034:~> sudo ps ax | grep ndo

Same applies on FreeBSD 10.3

service ndo2db start
Starting ndo2db.

ps -ax | grep ndo
4369  -  Is    0:00.00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg

service ndo2db status
ndo2db is not running.

service ndo2db stop
ndo2db not running? (check /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo2db.pid).

ps -ax | grep ndo
4369  -  Is    0:00.00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg
4415  0  R+    0:00.00 grep ndo

I strongly suspect this was related to issue https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/ndoutils/issues/17 which was fixed in the 'maint' branch about two weeks ago. Check if it works now in 'maint' and let me know.

Confirmed this is fixed in SUSE 11.x and FreeBSD 10.x
