Use the tacmd restartAgent command to start or restart
the given agents or the agents for the given managed systems. The OS agent must be running on the local computer prior to issuing this
command for a non-OS agent.
If you have the authority to restart agents and you specify only the agent
type, you do not need to log in to restart an agent on a local computer.
When you specify only an agent type, all agents of that type are restarted
on the local computer.
To start an OS agent, you must issue the command on the local computer where the agent is installed.
Note:
You cannot use this command to restart a non-default Universal
Agent instance that you created manually. Use the itmcmd
agent command with the -p parameter instead to
restart a non-default Universal Agent instance.

computer stone.ibm.com, which has a Linux® OS agent installed.
