The command-line interface for the client service
You can manipulate the agent directly from the command line on the agent computer by using the smc
command for the client service. You may want to use this command in a script that runs the parameters
remotely. For example, if you need to stop the agent to install an application on multiple agents, you
can stop and restart each client service.
With the exception of smc -start, the client service must run to use the command-line parameters.
The command-line parameters are not case sensitive.
