Verify Locally that the Agent is Running

Successful agent installation typically starts the agent service. Technically, the agent service starts when the caelmwatchdog process successfully binds with the caelmagent process.

You can determine whether the agent you installed is running while still logged on to the HP-UX host.

To verify locally that the agent service is running

1. Change directories to the agent root directory, /opt/CA/ELMAgent.
2. Enter the following:

   ps -ef|grep caelm
   

3. Verify that the agent, caelmagent, is running. If two lines similar to the following example appear in the command results, the agent is running.

   root 16843 16809  0 17:58:11 ?         0:00 ./caelmwatchdog
   root 16809     1  0 17:57:57 ?         0:57 ./caelmagent -b
   

4. If the agent service is not running, see Troubleshooting Agent Installation for remedial action.
