Starting CDP Agent in Recovery Mode

On a Linux machine, this is handled through editing the {color:blue}init{color} script (which is a link to {color:blue}/usr/bin/buagentctl{color}, by default.) On a Windows machine, this is accomplished using the options available inside the R1Soft Windows Agent service properties.
{info:title=Note}When you boot from CD, the Agent launches in "Recovery Mode" automatically. See [Booting Server From CD].

1. Start a remote SSH session or access a GUI terminal window (Konsole in KDE, Gnome Terminal in Gnome, etc.)

2. Use one of the following commands to stop the {color:blue}buagent{color} service:
{code}
# /etc/init.d/cdp-agent stop
{code}
or
{code}
# service cdp-agent stop
{code}
3. Create the empty file {color:blue}/usr/sbin/r1soft/.recovery-mode:{color}touch /usr/sbin/r1soft/.recovery-mode
as shown:
!recovery-mode.png!

4. And last, save the {color:blue}/etc/init.d/buagent{color} file, and restart the agent service.
{code}
/etc/init.d/cdp-agent start
{code}
or
{code}
service cdp-agent start
{code}
This will successfully place the Linux R1Soft Agent into recovery mode.
