Broadcast Agent not starting

We have reports set up to run on Broadcast Agent on a monthly basis. When we try to schedule new reports to Broadcast Agent it says that Broadcase Agent is not online, and then proceeds to schedule the report anyway. Does anyone know why the reports don't run or why Broadcast Agent would suddenly be offline? Would I have to re-boot the server which Broadcast Agent is on?
 
Depends on the version. There were situations where the BCA would not go online automatically when the the server was restarted. I would reboot and then check the admin panel to see if the BCA is actually doing something.

Have rebooted the server, and then gone into the admin console. It said the BCA is offline, so we tried re-starting it and it came back with the error message "Failed to connect scheduler". Connection to the repository also seems to be fine. Thanks for your help, but have you any other ideas?
