fix
VigilEnt Security Agent for Unix agents include convenience scripts that help start or restart agents. The scripts are located in the /etc directory, if inittab or rclinks was selected during the configuration steps.

Each process has a separate convenience script. To restart an agent, run all three convenience scripts. When invoking a script, an interactive mode is entered, where a valid command is expected, such as start, stop, status, log, restart, or quit.

For example, to restart an agent, change directories to the /etc directory on the agent host, and type the following commands:

./uagent
restart
quit
./uvserv
restart
quit
./detectd
restart
quit

The quit command in this context means quit the convenience script and return to the prompt.
