Linux LsAgent service name change

[anniep]

You are trying to get the status of the LsAgent client running on your Linux devices. You run the following command, but receive an error message: 

• systemctl status LansweeperAgentService

You are trying to stop/start the Lansweeper service. You run either of these commands. but receive an error message:

• systemctl stop LansweeperAgentService
• systemctl start LansweeperAgentService

What happened?

Previously, managing the LsAgent service on a Linux asset was done through these commands:

• systemctl status LansweeperAgentService
• systemctl start LansweeperAgentService
• systemctl stop LansweeperAgentService
• systemctl enable LansweeperAgentService

However, we recently changed the Linux LsAgent service name. The new commands to run are as follows:

• systemctl status ls-agent
• systemctl start ls-agent
• systemctl stop ls-agent
• systemctl enable ls-agent
