2.5.6. Restarting the Agent and the JVM

The agent can be restarted without taking down the agent JVM process. It is also possible to restart both the agent and its JVM.

The agent is managed through a plug-in container managed by the JBoss ON server. The container loads and manages the lifecycle of all agents. Restarting the plug-in container restarts the agent and all its components without destroying the JVM.

Alternatively, both the agent and its JVM can be restarted (this can be useful if, for instance, the launcher script or the JVM options have been edited).
