Starting the PATROL Agent for Windows from a command prompt

This section explains how to start the PATROL Agent on a Windows host.

Before you begin

Before you start the PATROL Agent for Windows, make sure you have performed the following actions:

  • Verify that you are logged on to the host where you want to start the PATROL Agent.
  • Verify that no PATROL Agent is already running. From the command line, enter "net start" and press ENTER to view the services that are running.

To start the PATROL Agent using the command line

Type the following command in the command line and press Enter:

PatrolAgent -p <portNo>

A message notifies you that the PATROL Agent is bound to TCP port you specified. The port number allows you to specify a TCP port on which the PATROL Agent will accept connections from PATROL Console. The port number is optional. If you do not specify a port, the PATROL Agent will use the default port number, 3181.

For a complete list of command line arguments, see Command line arguments for starting the PATROL Agent.
