3.4 Restart Methods for the UNIX Agent

NetIQ recommends that you accept the default, rclink. However, the following start methods are available.

Option

Description

rclink

Starts the agent daemons immediately after the deployment process and adds a startup script to the /etc/rc.d directory. This startup script starts the agent daemons after each reboot when the master rc script runs. This is the default method, and should be used in nearly all environments.

inittab

Starts the agent daemons immediately after the deployment process and adds an entry to the /etc/inittab file. This inittab file entry starts the agent daemons at the default run level after each reboot.

inetd

Configures the (x)inetd daemon to start the agent daemons when needed and then stop and unload the agent daemons.
