Software configuration management built on OSS gives Virtusa a competitive advantage

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT
Virtusa, a Sri Lankan IT services company founded in 1996, was using proprietary version control and collaboration systems to develop software for its clients until founder Kris Canekeratne decided that a custom solution built on open source components was a better fit for internal use. As a result, the company ended up saving millions of dollars on licensing fees and acquisition costs.

NAME
socks.fc - Frozen configuration file for SOCKS clients SYNOPSIS
/etc/socks.fc DESCRIPTION
The frozen configuration file is produced by make_socksfc and is essentially the memory image of the parsed configuration file. Using the frozen configuration file can reduce the start-up delay of the SOCKS client programs since they no longer have to parse the file contents. When the SOCKS client starts, it always looks for the frozen configuration file /etc/socks.fc first . If that file is not found, it then tries to use the plain-text configuration file /etc/socks.conf. If you use frozen configuration, you must remember to run make_socksfc every time after you modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS clients will continue to use the frozen file of a previous configuration. To find out the contents of a frozen configuration file, use dump_socksfc. SEE ALSO
