WinNT D.Net pproxy question

In the documentation, it says the pproxy can take a Ctrl+Break (equivalent to sending a HUP+ALRM signal on UNIX) to force a refresh of the pproxy.ini file and force an upstream server connection. Is there any way to do this when running as a service? Or do I just have to restart the service?
 
I think you have to manually restart the service to make it accept a new .ini file (so if you are saving with a min/maxkeysready of a billion and need to flush: change it to 1 (it fails to flushed sometimes when you set it to 0) and restart the pproxy.) Works fine out here, and it is the only way when you need to remotely manage your keyserver (with a program like RSCC)
 
boberfett, if you grab a copy of the latest version of the pproxy (version 3.19) it has a little utility that lets you force restarts and ini reloads.
 
You can also write a simple script to stop and start the service, which should reload the .INI file. I used this technique during the build-up to last nites dump to flip proxies from the "dump" proxy to Mikas every 12 hours automatically using the AT scheduling command. 🙂

To force a restart/refresh, simply create a .BAT file containing the following 2 lines:

NET STOP DNETD
NET START DNETD



Or you could just download the newest pproxy and use the utility 🙂
 
Just upgraded to 319 and it's exactly what I wanted. That little proxysig.exe is perfect.

But my pproxy still won't connect to Mika's. I have to go through BPhantoms proxy first. I wonder if the connection refusal has something to do with the horribly slow ping time I have at work to Mika's now. 🙁 You'd think a frame relay line would have a pretty good connection to anyplace on the same continent.
 
Can't connect to Mika's? Ouch. Just shows that when the Internet can't route you properly to a given site, that you have a problem.
Have you talked to your ISP about that Bobber?

Bober,

Have you tried the IP address itself instead of the domain name. If not, try that. It's worked for me in the past in simular situations.
