A UNIX service is a process that automatically runs in the background after the machine is started. On UNIX and Linux platforms, a shell script, agentd, is available in the directory $SYBASE_UA/bin. To install the agent as a service:
Copy the agentd into the /etc/init.d directory.
Make two soft links in the directory /etc/rcX.d (where X is the run level, for example, 3) that link to /etc/init.d/agentd: SXXagentd and KXXagentd (where XX is a two digit number, for example, 88). One is for starting the service and the other is for stopping the service.
Different UNIX systems might have slightly different
directory structures.
