# ArcMC Agent Operations

After installation, the `arcmcagent` process runs on the managed host. This process automatically starts after either automatic or manual installation. However, if the Agent stops for any reason, it can be manually started.

To manually start, stop, or restart the Agent on an appliance host:

1. On the managed host, click Setup > System Admin > Process status.

2. Select arcmcagent from the list of processes.

3. Click Start, Stop, or Restart, as necessary.

On Software ArcMC, Software Connector Appliance, or Software Logger

To manually start or stop the Agent on Software ArcMC, Software Connector Appliance, or Software Logger:

1. Run `<install_dir>/current/arcsight/<conapp|logger| arcmc>/bin/<conappd|loggerd|arcmcd> <start|stop> arcmcagent`

Agent Verification

To verify that the Agent is running on a host, use one of the following procedures:

- In the managed host’s GUI, click Setup > System Admin > Process Status. The ArcMC Agent (`arcmcagent`) will be shown as a process in the running state.

- (For Software ArcMC, Software Connector Appliance, or Software Logger Only) After you install the Agent, run this command at the command line:

  `<install_dir>/current/arcsight/<conapp|logger>/bin/<conappd|loggerd> status`

  The Agent is shown as a service in the running state.
