<![CDATA[Ubuntu Init Scripts on Repo Install]]>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:

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.
