6. Finally, save the start_agent script.
7. Restart the agent.

In Solaris environments, error and output logging for the eG agent can be triggered by editing the
starta script in the /opt/egurkha/bin directory. The steps involved in this process are discussed hereunder:
1. Open the starta file.
2. Edit the line that begins with nohup java –client -Xrs . . . (see Figure 2.21).

3. At the end of the line indicated by Figure 2.21, you can find an entry that reads as follows: . . .
/dev/null 2>&1.
4. This entry is appended to the nohup java line by default, and indicates that both output and error
logging is not enabled for the eG agent in question, by default.
5. Unlike Linux, HPUX, and AIX agents, which can be configured with two separate log files for error
and output logging respectively, the agent on Solaris can only be configured with a single log file;
both errors and output will be captured by this log file only. Therefore, to enable error and output
logging, replace the /dev/null entry in the nohup line with the full path to the log file (see Figure
Figure 2.22).
