Global configuration file

The global configuration file, agent.cfg, keeps track of each sub-agent (Backup and/or Client Agent) installed on your system. This file is located in the /usr/CYEagent directory, and receives the sub-agent information when the uagentsetup script is run.

The Client Agent for UNIX must be configured prior to use. See the ARCserveIT Release and Install Notes for detailed information.

Structure of the agent.cfg file

Each grouping of fields directly corresponds to an installed sub-agent. All fields are pre-determined with the exception of the sub-agent home directory, which is set for you when configuring the agent. If required, the environment variable field will be determined during installation/configuration of a sub-agent.

Variables may be entered into the file manually, such as an additional environment field associated with a particular database. Any modifications to the agent.cfg file will not take effect until the sub-agent is stopped, then re-started.

An example of the agent.cfg file is shown below, accompanied by a description of each sub-agent field:
