Appendix E: Proxy Manager Service
Name
proxymngr: Proxy Manager Service
Synopsis
proxymngr
Description
The proxy manager (proxymngr) is responsible for resolving requests from xfindproxy (and other similar clients), starting new proxies when appropriate, and keeping track of all of the available proxy services. The proxy manager strives to reuse existing proxies whenever possible.
There are two types of proxies that the proxy manager deals with: managed and unmanaged proxies. A managed proxy is a proxy that is started "on demand" by the proxy manager. An unmanaged proxy, on the other hand, is started either at system boot time, or manually by a system administrator. The proxy manager is made aware of its existence, but no attempt is made by the proxy manager to start unmanaged proxies.
The command line options that can be specified to proxymngr are:
Used to override the default proxymngr config file. See below for more details about the config file.
Sets the number of seconds between attempts made by the proxy manager to find an unmanaged proxy. The default is 10.
Sets the maximum number of retries made by the proxy manager to find an unmanaged proxy. The default is 3.
Causes various debugging and tracing records to be displayed as requests are received and proxies are started.
