I don't follow horse racing. I have barely heard of Smarty Jones. But I still remember Secretariat. He was as big as the Beatles. He won the first two legs of the Triple Crown setting a new record each time. He was proclaimed a super-horse. He was on the cover of Time and Newsweek magizines. There were TV specials devoted to him.... and this was before cable.

I decided to watch that final race of the Triple Crown, still the only horse race I have ever seen. After the first ten feet, it was clear no other horse had a prayer. Of course he won. Of course he set another record. But the other horses were not even in sight. He won by dozens of lengths.

Now that was exciting.

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.
