# Control the SysTrack Agent on Macs

The SysTrack Agent ships with a control script that is very similar to other *nix daemon control scripts. It includes the ability to start, stop, and restart the Agent, as well as check the status.

The control script must be run as root or with sudo.

Example (with output):

`root# ./lsiagentctl`

Check usage options:

`./lsiagentctl {setup|start|stop|restart|status}`

Check the status of the agent:

`root# ./lsiagentctl status lsiagentd (pid 999) is running`

Restart the agent:

`root# ./lsiagentctl restart Restarting lsiagentd... done!`

Stop the agent:

`root# ./lsiagentctl stop Stopping lsiagentd... done`

Start the agent:

`root# ./lsiagentctl start Starting lsiagentd... done!`
