5.5. Starting the Agent
By default, when the agent is installed using an RPM, it is configured as a system service. This means that it is started using the
service command:
[root@@server ~]# service jon-agent start
The agent can also be started and runs using a script in the agent's
bin/ directory.
Note
If the agent is installed with a JBoss ON server or a storage node, then it is managed using the
rhqctl script in the server's bin/ directory.
Any agent installed through an RPM cannot be managed with the
rhqctl script.
The agent command prompt is useful for passing certain agent commands and changing agent configuration. Using the
rhq-agent.sh command opens the command prompt.
