Running MonitorProxy

 The MonitorProxy executable can be found inside the Monitor.woa application directory in NEXT_ROOT/Library/WebObjects/Applications.To start the MonitorProxy service on a remote machine:

  1. Open a command shell (using, for instance Terminal.app on Mac OS X Server or the Bourne Shell program on Window NT).

  2. Enter "MonitorProxy" with no arguments to start the service.
MonitorProxy launches and searches for a Monitor application running on a nearby host. MonitorProxy might not find a host running Monitor, but do not be alarmed. It's more important that Monitor finds the MonitorProxy than vice versa. Go to the Hosts page in Monitor to see if Monitor detects that the host is available and running a MonitorProxy.

You might find that MonitorProxy takes a long time to start up because it is searching for the Monitor's host. To resolve this problem, specify the host running the Monitor as a command-line argument when you run MonitorProxy. For example:

MonitorProxy -mhost server1
You might want to set up your system so that MonitorProxy starts up at system boot time. See "Setting up Monitor and MonitorProxy as Services on Windows NT," below, for instructions on doing this on Windows NT.
