command line. To start an agent from ISPF as a started task refer to
Starting agents. To start the z/OS agent from the z/OS UNIX command line, follow this
procedure.
Before you begin

sure that the relay is started.
Procedure

- Go to the agent_install_dir/bin directory.
- Run the following script:
./agent start
To stop the agent, run the following script from the same
directory:
