Check the Agent Process Status from PASE

If the agent is down and a controlled shutdown did not occur, you can check the agent process to verify the status.

To check the process status of an agent from PASE

1. Open a PASE terminal session.
2. Change to the agent installation directory.
3. Enter the following command:

   # ps -ef | grep PID
   

   PID

   Specifies the process ID (PID) of the agent.

   The status of the specified process appears.

Example: Check the Process Status Using a PID

Suppose that the agent has a PID of 13214. Enter the following command to check the process status:

# ps -ef | grep 13214

A sample response is

cybuser 13214 12216  0  Apr 16 ?    0:00  ./cybAgent

Example: Check the Process Status of Multiple Agents or an Agent with an Unknown PID

Suppose that you want to check the process status of an agent with the name cybAgent. Enter the following command:

# ps -ef | grep cybAgent

The statuses of all processes that contain cybAgent in the name appear.
