Munin Error Failed to create rundir (/var/run/munin)

[AmedeoSca]

Hello,
I install Cpanel and Munin plugin too, every time I update, restart or recompile munin start to send email every 5 minutes with this:
Failed to create rundir (/var/run/munin): Permission denied at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/munin/munin-update line 38.
So I go in the shell and launch the command:
/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
and Munin stops to send emails, but after restart, update.... start again.
Thanks.

It's ok for me too, when this error occur munin sends one mail every 5 minutes so I insert this line in /etc/aliases

# Redirect munin mail
munin:         root

Thanks.

The problem don't go away.....
everyt time I reboot the server the directory /var/run/munin disappears and I must recreate by hand...

The overall issue that happens during reboots is addressed with internal case CPANEL-2078. It's available in cPanel version 11.52.1.0, which is currently published to the "Current" build tier.

Thank you.
