CLIAgent & serviceOverview

Agent and service

Use the lifecycle commands on the machine that runs the agent:

cmdop start cmdop status cmdop restart cmdop logs -f

These commands are local to the machine where you run them. They start, inspect, update, and troubleshoot that machine’s agent; they do not list every machine in a fleet and they do not operate the relay itself.

First diagnostic path

QuestionStart with
Is the agent running and connected?cmdop status
Why did it fail?cmdop logs -f
Is this machine healthy?cmdop care status
Should it start on boot?cmdop start and service/autostart options

For relay controls, use cmdop server. For other machines, use cmdop machines or cmdop connect.
