Reconfigure on OS X

How to reconfigure on OS X?

There seems not to be a node agent/vsoagent --help to find how to reconfigure for another Visual Studio Online URL.

I used to have reconfigure but it was easier to simply create a new folder and install a new agent. Delete the other one if needed. Details below.

Two options:

1. create another one in another directory and wack the current agent directory (recommended and easiest)
2. reconfigure the existing directory:

you just have to delete the .agent file. So:
rm .agent

If you're pointing to a new url, you'll likely want to cleanup some repos on disk (stuff in _work/build)

Note: If you're running as a service on osx, you need to stop it and uninstall the service. That will remove the plist. See the readme (svc.sh stop, svc.sh uninstall)

So, it's just easier to create a new folder, install the agent and configure. delete the old agent if not needed.

I'll update the readme.

I also have another issue when starting an agent on OS X. I tried on both my own and from another VSO to be an agent for the build process, but on both i get the response "Forbidden 403"

##[Error] 2015-06-09T17:14:26.132Z: Could not create an agent session.  Retrying in 15 sec

That means you didn't add the account to the agent pool service accounts (403 creating session to listen to queue).

On the main readme, there's instructions. There's also a video.

Oh sorry, I missed that part. It's working now 👍
