6.1 Verifying that the Master Agent Is Running

This exercise demonstrates how to verify that the master agent is running on your machine.

Estimated Time: 5 minutes

1.	Use the ps command to verify that the master agent is running on your machine. Using this command, you can find out whether the snmpdx process is running. The command should look something like this: bash-2.03# ps -ef|grepsnmpdx|grep -v grep root 402 1 0 17:54:39 ? 0:00 usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx -p 50161 -y -c /etc/snmp/conf bash-2.03#
2.	If the agent is not running, try to start the master SNMP agent using the command line.
3.	If you need help, use the startup script, /etc/init.d/init.snmpdx.
