On Linux and UNIX systems, an ibmproxy initialization script and associated symbolic links are placed in the appropriate /etc/ directories when Caching Proxy is installed. These scripts are then integrated into the startup and shutdown routines of the operating system. You can change the configuration settings for automatic restart by editing the ibmproxy script and changing the ibmproxy command options.
It is possible that the Caching Proxy initialization script can fail to set the desired maximum number of file descriptors due to the Solaris systemwide limit on file descriptors. If the systemwide maximum is less than the setting in the Caching Proxy initialization script, then the systemwide limit is used. You can change the file descriptor limit to avoid proxy performance problems that can result from too low a value (less than 1024). Issue the ulimit command to view the number of descriptors that are currently available. If the value is less than 1024, increase the file descriptor limit. To increase the file descriptor limit to 1024, add the following line to the /etc/system file:
set rlim_fd_cur=0x400

To disable automatic startup and shutdown:
On SUSE Linux, remove the following links to ibmproxy:
