Description:
There is no init script installed for the MySQL Network Monitoring Service Manager. 

How to repeat:
Install the latest 1.2. Look for an init script.

Suggested fix:
Install an init script

Currently nothing is installed outside of the directory tree created by the installer.  Adding this will require the installer to verify that the user running the installer to have the appropriate privileges to write to directories outside of the tree it creates.

The agent installs an init script - can the process there be duplicated?

Bug #33652 was marked as a duplicate of this one.

1) Please use the native service installer to configure the Service Manager to auto-start on reboot on the following platforms:

     AIX 5.2
     FreeBSD 6
     HP-UX
     Linux - Debian distros
     Linux - Red Hat distros
     Mac OS X
     Solaris 8, 9, & 10
     Windows

Please let us know if it would be difficult or impossible to support this on some of these platforms.

2) If the user has NOT installed as root, display the following text at the end of installation or in the Configuration Report:

"You have not installed the MySQL Enterprise Monitor as the root user.  Therefore it could not be configured to auto-start on reboot.  See the Installation section of the MySQL Enterprise Monitor documentation for instructions on how to do this manually."

3) Peter, After BitRock gets this working, please revisit the related sections in the documentation.  I think an extra sentence or two about copying ${installdir}/etc/init.d/mysql-enterprise-monitor to /etc/init.d/mysql-enterprise-monitor, and then running chkconfig, update-rc.d, etc., is warranted.

It's too late in the 1.3 release cycle for this, so we'll get this done in the 2.0 release.

Bitrock Support,

The 'mysqlmonitorctl.sh' file has been renamed to 'mysql-monitor-server'.  Comments have been added to the top of the script. Please use this as the 'init.d' script.  A copy has been placed in the ftp root directory.

Patch sent to Keith

Patch applied in version => 2.0.0.7078.

Tested OK with build 2.0.0.7092 on Linux - Fedora distribution.

The test above involved rebooting the box (after having the service manager running on it) and verifying that the service manager auto started after the reboot, in addition to checking that the startup script was put in /etc/init.d.

Resetting to 'Verified' due to the 2nd item requested in the comment dated [29 Jan 4:53] NOT being implemented: I installed build 2.0.0.7092 as a non-root user (on Open Solaris 2008.05) but the installer did not display the requested text.

Patch sent to Keith.

Patch applied in build versions => 2.0.0.7094.

Verified fixed in build 2.0.0.7094.

An entry was added to the 2.0 changelog:

No init script was installed for the MySQL Network Monitoring Service Manager, and so it did not restart automatically on reboot.
