-
- <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> may be invoked with the
- following command-line options:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">--config-test</i></span></p>
-
- <p>Exit after loading the configuration files before binding to the
- listen address. The exit code signals whether or not the
- configuration files have been successfully loaded.</p>
-
- <p>If the exit code is 1, at least one of the configuration files
- is invalid, if it is 0, all the configuration files have been
- successfully loaded (but may still contain errors that can
- currently only be detected at run time).</p>
-
- <p>This option doesn't affect the log setting, combination with
- <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--no-daemon</i></span>
- is recommended if a configured log file shouldn't be used.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">--version</i></span></p>
-
- <p>Print version info and exit. Unix only.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--help</i></span></p>
-
- <p>Print short usage info and exit. Unix only.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">--no-daemon</i></span></p>
-
- <p>Don't become a daemon, i.e. don't fork and become process group
- leader, and don't detach from controlling tty. Unix only.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--pidfile
- FILE</i></span></p>
-
- <p>On startup, write the process ID to <span class=
- "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">FILE</i></span>. Delete the
- <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">FILE</i></span> on exit.
- Failure to create or delete the <span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">FILE</i></span> is non-fatal. If no <span class=
- "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">FILE</i></span> option is given, no
- PID file will be used. Unix only.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--user
- USER[.GROUP]</i></span></p>
-
- <p>After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of
- <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">USER</i></span>, and if
- included the GID of GROUP. Exit if the privileges are not
- sufficient to do so. Unix only.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">--chroot</i></span></p>
-
- <p>Before changing to the user ID given in the <span class=
- "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--user</i></span> option, chroot to
- that user's home directory, i.e. make the kernel pretend to the
- <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> process that the directory
- tree starts there. If set up carefully, this can limit the impact
- of possible vulnerabilities in <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> to the files contained in that
- hierarchy. Unix only.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">--pre-chroot-nslookup
- hostname</i></span></p>
-
- <p>Specifies a hostname to look up before doing a chroot. On some
- systems, initializing the resolver library involves reading config
- files from /etc and/or loading additional shared libraries from
- /lib. On these systems, doing a hostname lookup before the chroot
- reduces the number of files that must be copied into the chroot
- tree.</p>
-
- <p>For fastest startup speed, a good value is a hostname that is
- not in /etc/hosts but that your local name server (listed in
- /etc/resolv.conf) can resolve without recursion (that is, without
- having to ask any other name servers). The hostname need not exist,
- but if it doesn't, an error message (which can be ignored) will be
- output.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">configfile</i></span></p>
-
- <p>If no <span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">configfile</i></span> is included on the command line,
- <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> will look for a file named
- <span class="QUOTE">"config"</span> in the current directory
- (except on Win32 where it will look for <span class=
- "QUOTE">"config.txt"</span> instead). Specify full path to avoid
- confusion. If no config file is found, <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> will fail to start.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>On <span class="APPLICATION">MS Windows</span> only there are two
- additional command-line options to allow <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> to install and run as a <span class=
- "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">service</i></span>. See the <a href=
- "installation.html#INSTALLATION-PACK-WIN">Window Installation
