NAME

socks5watch - A daemon that monitors the SOCKS5Server

SYNOPSIS
socks5watch [options]

DESCRIPTION
socks5watch is a daemon that monitors the SOCKS5Server. Local or remote clients connect to the daemon to capture socks5 connection data. Clients can check the data for alarm conditions or display it in a GUI.

socks5watch runs in the background, unless you include the --foreground option.

socks5watch creates and uses a memory-mapped file and semaphores. Each SOCKS5Server subprocess uses the same resources. Set your UNIX system IPC limits to sufficiently high values to handle the maximum number of concurrent socks5 connections. You may need to increase the limit on the number of individual processes requesting a SEM_UNDO operation. When you exceed any IPC limit, socks5watch fails and sets errno to ENOSPC.

CONFIGURATION
Set these options when you configure and build socks5watch.

--with-database directory
    Specifies the directory that contains SOCKS5LogAG's library file, libs5log.a. When SOCKS5Watch configuration includes this option, these options are also available:

    --dbname server the username for SOCKS5Watch. This must be the same as the first username in SOCKS5Log's s5dbpasswd configuration file.

    --dbhost host host identifies SOCKS5LogAG

    --dbport port port specifices the port on which SOCKS5Watch communicates with SOCKS5LogAG. When you omit this option, SOCKS5Watch uses port 1081.

    --dbpasswd dbpasswd dbpasswd specifies the complete path name for SOCKS5Watch's database password file.

--with-debug
    Turn on debug mode

--with-socks5=[dir]
    Specifies the socks5 include and lib directory to search for header files and the util archive, libs5util.a. socks5watch search ../../socks5 when you omit this option.

OPTIONS
Separate multiple options with white space.

--foreground
    Run in the foreground, and prevent dissociation from the parent shell. --foreground is most useful for debugging when you start and stop the daemon frequently. --version Print a message containing the major and minor socks5watch version numbers to stderr.
