I have just installed the Unix Agent to /usr/local/bkupexec/. The agent.be
and agent.cfg files are in the directory. Also, the appropriate
modification to my /etc/services file was made by the INSTALL program.
My quesiton is, how is the agent started at boot time? I'm used to using
chkconfig and ntsysv to turn services on and off. How would I turn the
agent off or uninstall it from my system? Were any other modifications made
to my system during the install process?
The documentation in the Administrator's Guide wasn't very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
If you used the INSTALL utility then the agent should start
automatically when you boot.
To uninstall, I guess just delete /etc/bkupexec
You can stop|start the agent whenever you need to.
ps -ef|grep agent
This will show the PIDs for the agent, if it's running. There should
be two.
kill
This will stop the agent. Use the lower number PID from the output
from ps.
To start the agent manually, cd /etc/bkupexec, then ./agent.be &
-Barry.
