[14-Mar-2017 21:04:37.534] [ERROR] Unable to establish connection with database (FATAL:  the database system is starting up
FATAL:  the database system is starting up)

Whenever the computer restarts uncleanly I keep getting the above error and netxms doesn't run. Have to start netxsms manually through sudo netxmsd -d

kiki,

obviously the DB startup lasts a little longer than usual when recovering from the unclean shutdown.

I would try to sleep() for a minute or two in the netxmsd startup file (maybe in /etc/init.d/netxmsd).

Kind regards,
Thomas

Yes. That must be the problem. This is what I have in the start up script.

What line should I modify to make the netxms launch after 5 minutes?

insert a line below the "# start daemon" comment:
    sleep 300 # wait 5 minutes


You might want to read a little about shell programming ....

Kind regards,
