Bug: Debian/Ubuntu - Agent failed to start about amonagent HOT 5 OPEN

@DerDanilo I will take a look whenever I have the time. Switched to a new python based release pipeline and some small issues here and there still remain. https://github.com/amonapp/amonagent/blob/master/build.py

And this is the line that should take care of the error you see: https://github.com/amonapp/amonagent/blob/master/packaging/init.sh#L36

Can you tell me your Debian/Ubuntu distro version?

from amonagent.

Ubuntu 16.04

I just changed the user in the systemd service file and now it seems to work fine. The package seems to install with root, starting the service with root and on reboot tries to start the service with the amonagent user.
Is there a problem starting the service with root rights?

@dschwabeS11 Thanks for the report. Will check the build pipeline to see what the issue might be. Starting any service with root rights is a no go in an Enterprise scenario with strict permissions

Of course. I meant in connection with amonagent as I only see this as a temporary workaround.

This should be fixed with #26
