REDHAT Linux - Daemonize the Agent

If this is the first installation of the Agent or the Agent is being installed using a different directory path than the previous installation, the Agent should be daemonized referrencing the installation path for the Agent.    Running the agent as a daemon is helpful, because:

...

• Add a symbolic link to the /etc/init.d directory.   For example:

  Code Block
  language bash title Redhat
  ln -fs /SIFAgents/USAS-SIF-Agent-2.0.2/USAS_daemon.sh /etc/init.d/usas_sif ln -fs /SIFAgents/USPS-SIF-Agent-2.0.2/USPS_daemon.sh /etc/init.d/usps_sif

  
  

• Ensure that the owner is root. If that is not the case, use the following command to change the owner to root.

  Code Block
  language bash title Redhat
  chown root:root /etc/init.d/usas_sif chown root:root /etc/init.d/usps_sif

  
  

• Change the rights using the following command.

  Code Block
  language bash title Redhat
  chmod 755 /etc/init.d/usas_sif chmod 755 /etc/init.d/usps_sif

  
  

• Next, use the following command to add the USAS_daemon.sh or USPS_daemon.sh to the list of daemons.

  Code Block
  language bash title Redhat Linux
  chkconfig --add usas_sif chkconfig --add usps_sif chkconfig --levels 2345 usas_sif on chkconfig --levels 2345 usps_sif on

  
  

• To start the agent, use this command.

  Code Block
  language bash title Redhat
  service usas_sif start service usas_sif start

  
  

• To ask if the agent is running, use this command.

  Code Block
  language bash title Redhat
  service usas_sif status service usps_sif status

  
  

• To stop the agent, use this command.

  Code Block
  language bash
  service usas_sif stop service usps_sif stop
