They contain some customizations that are specific to our environment. All of them have a common PatrolAgent.rc script: our procedure is to copy it to /etc/init.d (or /sbin/init.d in HP-UX, or /etc/rc.d/init.d in ancient RedHats...) and create the proper symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d directories, so that the script will start the agent automatically at the end of system startup and stop it at the very beginning of system shutdown.<BR /><BR />Thus, in our environment, if it's necessary to start the Patrol agent manually, the command would be:<BR />sh /etc/init.d/PatrolAgent.rc start<BR /><BR />And to stop it:<BR />sh /etc/init.d/PatrolAgent.rc stop<BR /><BR />MK Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:00:54 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/how-to-start-stop-bmc-patrol-agents-in-linux/m-p/4210942#M32769 Matti_Kurkela 2008-06-05T13:00:54Z
