PRAYER-SESSION(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 PRAYER-SESSION(8)

NAME

     prayer-session -- Prayer user session backend daemon

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

     prayer-session is the backend process in the Prayer Webmail system. A fresh prayer-session 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.
     Each login has a session ID that the front end processes 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.

     prayer-session 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

     /usr/local/prayer/etc/prayer.cf
	     Default configuration file.

     /usr/local/prayer/templates/
	     Location of standard templates. The templates are compiled into prayer-session for performance reasons, so the template files are
	     actually not used, but they are available for customization.

       is used to remind the user via audio indicators of an impending Islamic prayer event.

       -ipraytime path
	      Specify the path to the ipraytime executable.  Unless this options is specified, the script will default to look for the	binary	in
	      /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin and the current directory.

       -execs cmd
	      Specify an external application trigger for when the salat reaches its appointed time (ie. "salat now").	The %m directive is recog-
	      nized and is substituted with the normal output message or string.  The %s directive is recognized and is substituted by the salat's
	      name.
