Starting multiple proxy servers

Multiple instances of the proxy server can run concurrently, but each instance must listen on a separate port. On AIX systems, only one instance can be started with SRC. Unique configuration files must be specified for all instances of the server because the configuration file identifies a port number, and this number must be different for each server on a particular machine. To start an additional instance of the server (when at least one is already running), enter the following command:

where other_config_file is a unique configuration file.

When starting multiple instances of the server, record the process ID that is displayed for each instance. These IDs are required to stop specific instances of the server.

Note:
On Linux systems running multiple instances of the server, the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/ibmproxy stop stops only the last server that was started. Other instances must be stopped separately. Refer to Manual shutdown on Linux and UNIX systems for related information.
