AS/400 Enterprise Option Start and Stop Requirement

To stop the UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X client agent, log in as root and issue the
following command at the command line:
# uagent stop
Whenever a client agent is started or stopped, the UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X
system scripts modify the agent.cfg file by marking the client agent entry in
the file as enabled or disabled. The scripts also notify the Common Agent of
the change. The Common Agent then determines whether to continue running,
depending on the number of entries in the configuration file that are still
enabled.
For example, issuing uagent stop for a UNIX client marks the BABagntux
section disabled. If BABagntux is the only section of the file (that is, there is
only one BrightStor ARCserve Backup client agent installed), the Common
Agent stops. You would then need to issue uagent start to enable the
BABagntux section of the agent.cfg file.
When you enter the uagent start command, the Common Agent status
changes from disabled to enabled. In summary, when a particular client agent
is started or stopped, the scripts modify the agent.cfg file accordingly, and
notify the Common Agent. At that point, the Common Agent decides whether
to continue running, depending on the number of sections in the configuration
file that are still enabled.
To check the status of a UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X client agent, log in as root
and issue the following command at the command line:
# uagent status
If this command fails, the client agent may need to be configured. To
configure the client agent, run the following script:
#babuagent/uagentsetup
In this example, babuagent represents the full path name of the agent home
directory. The default path is /opt/CA/BABuagent.
You must have *JOBCTL (job control) authority to start or stop the client
agent.
