Starting and stopping a master agent

The best way to start a master agent is to run the runsnmp.ksh script as part of the startup procedure for the system. Similarly, the best way to stop a master agent is to run the runsnmp.ksh script as part of the shutdown procedure. However, you can start or stop a master agent manually if you prefer. Additionally, while a master agent is running, you can make sure that it is running correctly.

The runsnmp.ksh script automatically starts the EMANATE master agent at startup and stops it at shutdown.

If you bought a master agent from another vendor, follow the instructions that the vendor provides.
