1、平時配置nagios客戶端nrped啓動最常用的就是在/etc/rc.local文件配置：
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d
2、但是還有更好的方式（這樣方便使用腳本啓動或者關閉）：
在/etc/init.d目錄下創建nrped腳本文件,並執行 chmod +x /etc/init.d/nrped 賦予執行權限
chkconfig --add nrped 或執行直接執行chkconfig nrped on 來添加爲服務啓動
nrped 腳本文件內容（這個腳本不是我寫的）：
#!/bin/sh
#
# Created 2000-01-03 by [email protected]

# nrpe This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# nrpe.
