• Second start the primary agent,
• Third start the NPC
To start the Primary Agent, Secondary Agent(s) under a Unix system:
1 At the host computer, change directories to:
/usr/hybrid/bin/ (or whatever directory you chose during the installation if not the default)
2 Then at the command line, type:
primary <Enter> -- to start the Primary Agent
secondary <Enter>
-- to start the Secondary Agent
npc <Enter>
-- to start the Secondary Agent
