You can issue commands to start or stop running the DataSync Agent for ServiceNow from a command line interface on supported Windows and Linux devices. 

 NOTE: Enhanced integration with various security options provided by our supported OS platforms may result in the user receiving additional prompts for Administrator or SUDO permission. 

 WARNING: Regardless of how you are running the Agent, it is advised to always stop the Agent following the instructions below, based on the situation.
