Restart remote agent via command

Hi experts.
very new to Control-m since new app in our company.
I'm looking for command that can restart agent remote with command script or some other approaches?!
I need to create a weekly job with command that will restart agent for oracle database on Linux server
Environment Control-m v.7 - Linux
Database agent on Linux server
Problem is we have a memory leak issue and if we do not restart agent on weekly bases than database jobs start failing with error:
Exit Code = 1
Exit Message = java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread

After we restart agent manually, same jobs run fine. so to be proactive we like to recycle agent on weekly bases.
Thanks

HI,
you could try to create a shell script that stop and start Control/M agent:

#!/bin/bash
ctm/scripts/shut-ag –u <agent_username> -p ALL
sleep 10
ctm/scripts/start-ag –u <agent_username> -p ALL

You must launch it as root and you could schedule it from you control/M Agent because system command scripts are executed with a different process.
Or you can configure agent as a service (create scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d , ec.) and execute a restart.
