HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.2 Administration Guide

Procedure 4-9 To halt the agent locally on the agent host, follow these steps:
• On the agent host, perform one of the following steps to halt the agent locally:
• Log in to the agent system as root and enter the following command:
$ kill -TERM $(cat /var/opt/ids/idsagent.pid)
NOTE: You can also do this as user ids.
• Log in to the agent system as superuser (root) and enter the command:
$/sbin/init.d/idsagent stop
This command is automatically executed when the agent system is shut down with the
shutdown command.
The agent is halted on the host. The status of the agent host on the System Manager does
not update itself automatically. The next time you run a System Manager command for the
agent, the Status field is set to No Agent Available and the Schedule field is set to None
on the System Manager screen.
When the agent is halted, the schedule, if any, is retained and remains available for automatic
restart.
IMPORTANT: If an agent did not halt as above, you may need to clean up the message
queues. For more information, see “Agent halts abnormally, leaving ids_* files and message
queues” (page 214).
