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 DBA
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.
