NAME

prayer-session - Prayer user session backend daemon

SYNOPSIS

[--config-file file ] [[--config-option name = value ] ... ] [--foreground ]

DESCRIPTION

is the backend process in the Prayer Webmail system. A fresh backend is forked off whenever a user logs in.

This process contains all of the permanent state associated with that login session including one or more connections to a IMAP server and possibly connections to accountd servers. prayer-session communicates with the user using HTML over HTTP connections via the prayer(8)proxy.EachloginhasasessionIDthatthefrontendprocesses use to find the correct backend.

Backend server processes move into a dormant state after a certain period of inactivity, shutting down IMAP and accountd connections which can be easily resuscitated when the session wakes up. After a long period of inactivity, typically several hours the session process shuts down.

accepts the following command-line options:

--config-file file
Reads configuration from file instead of the default /etc/prayer/prayer.cf
--config-option name = value
Sets (overrides) the configuration option name to value Any number of options can be specified in this manner.
--foreground
Debug mode. Run a single process in the foreground.

ENVIRONMENT

PRAYER_CONFIG_FILE
Can be set to specify the configuration file to use. The --config-file option takes precedence over this variable.
PRAYER_HOSTNAME
Local hostname. Overrides the hostname setting in the configuration file as well as on the command line.

FILES

/etc/prayer/prayer.cf
Default configuration file.
/usr/share/prayer/templates/
Location of standard templates (in the separate prayer-templates package). The templates are compiled into for performance reasons, so the template files are actually not used, but they are available for customization.
/etc/prayer/templates/
The Debian pre-configured template_path As a Debian extension, looks here before falling back to the compiled template if template_use_compiled is false
