Re: How to install Infrasctructure Agent without root or access to Crontab

    Cron is disabled in our environment and not permitted for use by any user, period.  Is there a way to do this with absolutely no cron access at all?

     

    If I ignore the warning, stop/start still fais.. force start kind of works but will tell you it is not running with a status option provided.

    I covered this in the knowledge doc created after the case 

     

    At this time, APM Infrastructure Agent does not require root or sudo for installation.
    The issue proved to be that a service account to run cron was needed. Once that was used, the installation could take place.

     

    You could also use the force_start install option instead to run the Infrastructure Agent without the cron service.
