============================================================
Resolution
0. Follow the guide for prerequisites such as jdk 1.6 installation and creation and download of the agent
1. Create an unprivileged account for the agent to run in (avagent in this example).
2. For the agent account, export JAVA_HOME and put $JAVA_HOME/bin on the path.
su -l avagent

export JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.6.0
export PATH=$PATH:/etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.6.0

To set in bash for next login for avagent account add the lines above to the .bash_profile:
=======================================================================
# User specific environment and startup programs
 
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
 
export JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.6.0
export PATH=$PATH:/etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.6.0
========================================================================
3. Copy the AveksaAgent subdirectory to the agent account. Change permissions of all files to the
agent account. Make everything in bin executable
• cd path-to-AveksaAgent
• chmod 755 bin/*
4. To start the agent in background as avagent:
cd /home/avagent/AveksaAgent/bin
sh agent.sh start &
===================================================
[1] 23795
[avagent@small-08 bin]$ JAVA_HOME: /usr/bin/jdk1.6.0_45

java found
All java executables found, continuing . . .
Using AGENT_HOME:    /home/avagent/AveksaAgent
Using JAVA_HOME:     /usr/bin/jdk1.6.0_45
Using CLASSPATH:     /home/avagent/AveksaAgent/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/avagent/AveksaAgent/common/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar:/home/avagent/AveksaAgent/conf:/home/avagent/AveksaAgent/agent/lib
Run
cmd args:  start
=========================================================================
The process is in the background running, the UI will show the agent running, the aveksaAgent.log shows all relevant information and status:

ps -ef | grep agent
