Starting and Stopping the Linux Agent

You control the Linux Agent with the pa script. You must be a super user to use the commands. Use the following commands to control the agent.

To start the PrimeAlert Agent:

# /opt/PrimeAlert/bin/pa start agent

To stop the PrimeAlert Agent:

# /opt/PrimeAlert/bin/pa stop agent

To restart the PrimeAlert Agent (stop and start):

# /opt/PrimeAlert/bin/pa restart agent

To display the status of the PrimeAlert Agent:

# /opt/PrimeAlert/bin/pa status agent

After starting the agent for the first time, you must wait 5 – 10 minutes for the server and agent to authenticate with one another before you manage the host through the console.
