-?                         Display this help

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : Workload Automation System Agent

Cause

This behavior occurs if the user running the cybAgent script does not have read permission for the agentparm.txt file located in the agent install directory.

Resolution

Ensure the <AGENT_HOME>/agentparm.txt file is readable by the user attempting to run the cybAgent script.
