The eG Installation Guide - eG Innovations

Installing and Configuring on Unix
6. As in the case of the eG manager, the agent package contains components that need to be
installed with the set-uid permissions set. These components must be installed for the agent to
function properly. Following this step, the eG agent components are extracted and stored.
7. The eG agent will be installed in the default /opt base directory. Upon successful installation,
the following message will be displayed.
*****************************************************************
The eG agent has been successfully installed! Please login as and
run the script /opt/egurkha/bin/setup_agent to configure the agent.
*****************************************************************
Note:
A license is not required for installing an eG agent. However, the licensing terms of the eG
manager should support the number of agents being deployed.
2.7.7 Manually Installing / Uninstalling the Auto-restart Feature for the
eG Agent / Manager
To manually install/uninstall the auto-restart feature for the eG agent / manager, do the following:
1. Move to the /opt/egurkha/bin directory and run the command, auto_restart ,
where could be either of the following:
install: Enter install if you wish to install the auto-restart feature
uninstall: Type uninstall if you wish to uninstall the auto-restart feature
could hold either of the following values:
manager: Enter manager to ensure that the manager restarts on system reboot
agent: Enter agent if the agent is to be restarted on system reboot
2. If none of the above arguments are provided, or, an incorrect / invalid argument is provided,
then the following message will appear:
Usage /opt/egurkha/bin/auto_restart [ install | uninstall ] [ manager | agent ]
Now, specify the correct argument and proceed with the corresponding process.
3. Only a super user has the permission to execute the auto_restart script. Therefore, if the current
user is not the super user, then soon after the following message is displayed, the install /
uninstall process will be terminated:
Current user 'john' does not have permission to execute this script
Only super user can execute this script!
4. On the other hand, if the current user is the super user, then the script will begin installing /
uninstalling the auto-restart feature. Upon successful installation of the auto-restart feature for
an agent, you will see the following message:
Successfully installed the auto-restart feature for the eG agent!
