Stopping the Agent from the Command Line
To stop a running agent, enter the following command:
/opt/amgr/bin/amgrd -stop
For the full description of the options available for modifying agent behavior, see “Commands
for Controlling HP Application Discovery Agent and Certificates” (page 55) .
Reconfigure a Running Agent from the Command Line
To change attributes of the agent while it is running, type on the command line:
/opt/amgr/bin/amgrd [-option] [-option]
For example, the following command illustrates changing the frequency for collecting data about
processes and packages.
/opt/amgr/bin/amgrd [-procfreq interval{s|m|h}] [-packfreq interval{s|m|h}]
where
• -procfreq interval{s|m|h} changes the current frequency for collecting process data.
• -packfreq interval{s|m|h} changes the current frequency for collecting package
data.
and interval is the time span between polls. Interval may be given in seconds (s), minutes
(m), or hours (h).
For example, the following command designates a process collection frequency of 10 minutes
and a package collection frequency of 30 minutes:
/opt/amgr/bin/amgrd [-procfreq 10m] [-packfreq 30m]
For the full range of options, see “Commands for Controlling HP Application Discovery Agent
and Certificates” (page 55) .
