Sometimes, it may be necessary to restart the agent on a server or VM. This requires administrative/sudo privileges. The below commands show how to restart the agent, both when running locally or remotely.

Linux

Linux - Locally

Use the following commands to manage service

```
sudo service zasad restart
```

Linux - Remotely

ssh {computername} "sudo service zasad restart"

Windows

Windows - Locally

Option 1 - From PowerShell - Run as Administrator
- ```
restart-service -name zasa -force
```
Option 2 - From Task Manager
- Under Details tab of the Task Manager, right click on zasa.exe, click "End task". This will stop and automatically start the agent process with a new PID.

Windows - Remotely

From a PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on a management machine:
- ```
Get-Service -ComputerName {computername} -Name zasa | Restart-Service -Force
```
- NOTE - You will be prompted for credentials for the remote Administrator

```
Enable-PSRemoting
```
