enabling and disabling of agents question

on the properties page for an agent (I referring mainly to snapshot and
merge agents), on the general tab there is an 'enable' check box. Then on
the schedule tab there is also an 'enable' checkbox for the shedule.
If the enable checkbox on the general tab is not checked (disabled) but the
enable checkbox on the schedule is checked (enabled) will the agent run?
The reason I ask is that my merge agent was running even though I'm looking
at the enable check box and it is not checked? The only thing I can think
of is that I unchecked 'enable' while the agent was currently running..
maybe I did not stop it first.. could that be the explanation?
any info is appreciated. thanks.
DJC,
yes - you need to stop synchronizing to stop the job, and disabling it just
sets the property without stopping it. 'Start Synchronizing' and 'Stop
Synchronizing' are actually independant of this property though.
