2.11 Starting the eG Agent
To start the agent, first, login as the eG user, and then, run the command /opt/egurkha/bin/start_agent.
The following message would be displayed
***************************************************************************
Starting the eG agent. . .
The eG agent 5.1 has been started...
Please check the file: /opt/egurkha/agent/logs/error_log
for any errors while executing the agent.
***************************************************************************
The following error message would appear if the agent fails to start
**************************************************************************
The eG agent failed to start ...
This is probably because the eG manager's license does not permit this agent to
communicate with it.
Please check the file: /opt/egurkha/agent/logs/error_log for details.
***************************************************************************
An eG agent may fail to start if:
Note:
1. the eG manager cannot be contacted (or)
2. there is a license mismatch
The following processes will run when the agent starts:
A Java process that executes EgMainAgent - this is the core agent process
A script named eGAgentMon that periodically monitors the agent and restarts it if the
agent ever fails
Then, the eG administrative interface (described in the the eG User Manual) can be used to
enable/disable authentication during manager/agent communication.
In Linux, AIX, and HPUX systems, error and output logging for the eG agent can be triggered by
editing the start_agent script in the /opt/egurkha/bin directory. The steps involved in this process are
discussed hereunder:
1. Open the start_agent file.
