No Agent Indication

How can I tell if my SQL Server Agent is running without using the EM? The
network admins have control of the server in such a way as to not let the DB
A
start or stop the service on the server. This of course does not light up
the indicator in the EM for the Agent.Hi
If you run sp_who2 or query sysprocesses, you will see connections from
Agent. They are always there as they poll for jobs.
