When you enter the uagent start command, the Common Agent status changes
from disabled to enabled. In summary, when a particular client agent is started
or stopped, the scripts modify the agent.cfg file accordingly, and notify the

running, depending on the number of sections in the configuration file that are
still enabled.

issue the following command at the command line:
# uagent status
If this command fails, the client agent may need to be configured. To configure
the client agent, run the following script:
#
abuagent
/uagentsetup
In this example,
abuagent
represents the full path name of the agent home
directory. The default path is /opt/CA/ABuagent.
