Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/issues/8880

Originally assigned to: @MickLesk on GitHub.

✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Zabbix

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/zabbix.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

Default Settings
Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 13

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

pve-manager/9.0.11/3bf5476b8a4699e2 (running kernel: 6.14.11-4-pve)

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I cannot update my Zabbix LXC container using the same community script that I originally installed it with (and which should also handle updates).
When I run the update, the script fails because it tries to stop zabbix-agent.service, but my container only has zabbix-agent2.service running.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Connect to the LXC via SSH (Zabbix was installed using the community script).
Run the script again to update the LXC.
Choose Yes with verbose enabled.
The script attempts to stop zabbix-agent.service, which does not exist, and throws the following error:

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

/__  /  ____ _/ /_  / /_  (_)  __
  / /  / __ `/ __ \/ __ \/ / |/_/
 / /__/ /_/ / /_/ / /_/ / />  <
/____/\__,_/_.___/_.___/_/_/|_|


  ⏳   Stopping ServicesFailed to stop zabbix-agent.service: Unit zabbix-agent.service not loaded.

[ERROR] in line 49: exit code 0: while executing command $STD systemctl stop zabbix-agent

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

It looks like the script has the service name hardcoded and doesn’t account for zabbix-agent2.service.

My questions

Is this a known bug in the script?
Is there a recommended workaround (e.g. editing the script, adding a systemd alias), or should I wait for a fix in the repository?

It might be useful if the script could detect whether zabbix-agent or zabbix-agent2 is installed and stop the correct service accordingly.

do you have agent2 or agent? nvm. agent2 - okay. can you share output of: systemctl list-unit-files

I have only agent2.
I do not have agent (1) installed at all — I went straight with agent2 during the initial setup.

The update script actually checks if you have agent or agent2... weird
