VMS Help  —  XPROXYMANAGER
    Starts the DECwindows X proxy manager.

    The DECwindows proxy manager relieves proxy clients from
    managing proxy servers. Instead of sending a request directly
    to a proxy server, the client sends a request to the proxy
    manager indicating the requested X server. The proxy manager is
    responsible for either using an existing proxy server or starting
    a new proxy server. Once the manager finds a proxy server it
    returns the proxy server's address to the client. The proxy
    manager is an optional DECwindows component.

    If the proxy manager is used it is usually started automatically
    at DECwindows startup time.

    Format:

    XPROXYMANAGER [qualifiers]

1    /CONFIGURATION 

    /CONFIGURATION=file-specification

    Specifies the configuration file that the proxy manager should
    use to define the available proxy services.

    The default is SYS$LOGIN:DECW$XPROXYMANAGER.DECW$PMCFG.

2    /LOG 

    /LOG=file-specification
    /NOLOG

    Specifies the log file that the proxy manager should use to log
    errors. The proxy manager uses this file to record each request
    for a proxy server. The default is /NOLOG. If the /VERBOSE
    qualifier is specified, the default is /LOG. If /LOG is specified
    without a value, the output is sent to SYS$ERROR by default.

    If an incomplete specification is entered, the following
    directory specification is used to complete the command:

    SYS$SYSDEVICE:[]DECW$XPROXYMANAGER.LOG

3    /PORT 

    /PORT=integer

    Specifies the port number that this server monitors for incoming
    requests. For the TCP/IP transport, this qualifier specifies an
    IP port number from the port number space shared by all users
    of TCP/IP. For the DECnet and Local transports, this qualifier
    specifies a number that is used to create a unique resource name
    from the name space of all users of the Inter-Client Exchange
    (ICE) protocol. Specify a value from 1 to 16383.

    The default port number is 6500.

4    /TRANSPORT 

    /TRANSPORT="transport-string"

    Specifies the transports which this proxy manager monitors for
    incoming client requests.

    The default is /TRANSPORT="LOCAL,DECNET,TCPIP".

5    /VERBOSE 

    /VERBOSE
    /NOVERBOSE

    Specifies whether the proxy manager should log every proxy
    request to the proxy manager log file, in addition to error
    messages.

    If the /LOG qualifier is specified, the default is /VERBOSE. If
    the /LOG qualifier is not specified, the default is /NOVERBOSE.

6  –  Example 

    1. $ XPROXYMANAGER -
       _$/CONFIGURATION=SYS$MANAGER:DECW$LBXPROXY.DECW$PMCFG -
       _$/LOG=SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PM.LOG

       Starts a proxy manager using the configuration file
       SYS$MANAGER:DECW$LBXPROXY.DECW$PMCFG and the log file
       SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PM.LOG.
