Arggghhhh!!!! Nooooo!!!!!! Do not NOT *NOT* use "kill -9" as your weapon of choice. Use a simple "kill" by all means - that at least allows the process a chance to tidy up before shutting down. (Though it would be preferable to use the proper service control commands - typically "service xxx stop") But "kill -9" should always be a last resort, when everything else has failed. Sunitha - the other question would be whether you are starting the agent as root or as a "normal" user. Port 161 is a privileged port, so can only be used when starting the agent as root. If you run the command as a normal user, it won't be able to open this port.
