      I installed the Zabbix agent on a AIX machine. Though it works well, I have the following error repeated countless time. 

      zabbix_agentd [8388944] Is this process already running? Could not lock PID file [/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid]: [13] Permission denied

      The Zabbix agent version is: 

      $ /opt/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd -V
      zabbix_agentd (daemon) (Zabbix) 4.0.7

      The PidFile configuration variable is set to the default value:

      1. PidFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid)

       

       A search on internet let me see other people with the same problem but without any solution.  

      Does a solution exist for this problem?
