can not start sql agent

SQL Book Online lists command sqlagent.exe can start SQL
agent.
I tried to start sql agent by using sqlagent.exe from
command prompt. But get error:
"You must start SQLServerAgent as a service (using the SQL
Server Service Manager)"
Does Book Online give wrong option?
Thanks for suggestions.
-TomHi,
You can use either Control panel -- Administrative tools -- Services --
there you can select and start "SQL Agent" service.
Otherwise from command prompt you can issue below command to start the sql
agent service.
net start sqlagent
Note:
The above service name will be SQLagent$instance_name if your sql server is
a named instance.
Thanks
Hari
