Start CA ControlMinder

Assuming you are working in an X Windows environment, invoke CA ControlMinder, verify that it is correctly installed on your system, and perform the following steps to initiate important protection:

Open two windows under root (superuser) authority.
In either window, enter the command:
```
seload
```
Wait while the seload command starts three CA ControlMinder daemons: Engine, Agent, and Watchdog.
After you have started the daemons, go to the other window and enter the command:
```
secons -t+ -tv
```
CA ControlMinder accumulates a file of messages reporting operating system events. The secons ‑tv command displays the messages on the screen as well.
In the first window, where you gave the seload command, enter the following command:
```
who
```
Watch the second window, where CA ControlMinder is writing the trace messages, to see whether CA ControlMinder intercepts the execution of the who command and reports on it. CA ControlMinder is correctly installed on your system if it reports interception of the who command.
If you want, enter more commands to see how CA ControlMinder reacts to them.
The database does not yet contain any rules for blocking access attempts. Nevertheless, CA ControlMinder monitors the system so that you can see how the system behaves with CA ControlMinder installed and running, and which events CA ControlMinder intercepts.
Shut down the seosd daemon, by entering the following command:
```
secons -s
```
The following message displays on the screen:
```
CA ControlMinder is now DOWN !
```
