The agent does not log a warning that the subscription to the channel is unsuccessful, and files in the collection do not have read permissions. The message Inaccessible log file ... will try later is repeatedly added to the log. You can comment out the default configuration that is causing the problem or change the user permissions. If you use an rpm or DEB package to install Linux agents, the init.d script named liagentd is installed as part of the package installation. The bin package adds the script, but does not register it. You can register the script manually. You can verify that the installation was successful by running the (/sbin/) service liagentd status command.
