Starting and Stopping the Agent on UNIX
Before starting the agent, verify that you are running the minimum Java version JDK 1.6.0_x.

To start the agent as a service, you must initially create the service. The following procedures
create and start the agent service.

Log in as root and change to the <directory> where you installed the agent software.
For example: cd /se-agent

Run the following command:
./installagentservice.sh <install-directory>
For example: ./installagentservice.sh /<se-agent>
Where <se-agent> is the complete directory path specified in step 4 of Installing the
Software on page 31. This restarts the agent automatically when the server restarts.
