- i have checked the kernal(2.6.32) is supported
- and centos is also almost a clone of redhat
thanks for your reply,

Centos is certainly a version of RHEL but RHEL 3 and RHEL/CentOS 6 are completely different.
If you want to know what files to execute you might get some information from the package itself, running from the command line would require that the path to the executables was in the PATH environment.
Use `rpm -qvil sav | more` to list the files in the package, you might need to go to /opt/ something and then run ./sav but as suggested, it might not work unless you have a supported version.

01. i got the clue that AV software is 32-bit. i installed 32-bit support package on server, and then reinstalled the AV... now commands are working
(not directly but with prefix like: /opt/Symantec/symantec_ant
Question
02. now the problem is that i am not able to enable aut-protect (this package is installed)
a. this command shows the status of auto-protect as 'disabled'
sav info -a
b. this command should enable the auto-protect
sav autoprotect -e
c. but after running the enable command status is still showing 'disabled'
Kindly help!
