Enabling SQL Server Agent by using scripts

Hi NG,
how do I have to enable the SQL Server Agent by using command line scripts
(without the Enterprise Manager). According to SQLServer books online the
command line command sqlagent should only be used for diagnostic purposes.
thanks for help, rene
Rene,
To start SQL Server Agent from the commandline you can do this:
net start sqlserveragent

|||There are two places you can do this.
1)
Enterprise Manager-->General Tab, Tick AutoStart SQL Server Agent
2)
In Services Control Panel Applet, you can set the SQLServerAgent service
to AutoStart.
or if these don't work, you could even do this:
3)
CREATE PROC sp_startagent
AS
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'net start sqlserveragent', no_output
GO
exec sp_procoption N'sp_startagent', N'startup', N'true'
GO
