Using eep_check (command line utility)

eep_check.exe is the command line version of the Check utility. It is located in the Enfold Proxy installation directory. Note that this is a 'console' program, so you should execute this program from a command-prompt rather than by double-clicking in explorer.

The command line version of this utility (eep_check utility) is identical to the utility in the GUI. If you run this command via command line, you can append a --show-excludes argument to the command. If you do that, the print will print not only the normal output but also a list of all items found by this auto-exclude processing. (See Using Excludes ).

The eep_check utility can be executed with a --show-config argument, which will print the current configuration values being used by EP. The values printed are after any default values and variable substitutions have been applied - it shows exactly how configuration file appears to EP.

For example, assuming your configuration file is the complex example above, eep_check would print:

eep_check --show_config

# Effective eep.ini configuration:
[options]
virtualdir = /_plone
... lines omitted ...

[host 1]
vh_hosts = localhost:8080
vh_root = PloneSite1
lh_root = /PloneSite1
lh_server = 192.168.0.1
lh_port =
includes =
... lines omitted ...

Worthy of note:

• All configuration sections and values are printed, even when they do not appear in the INI file, as seen by the [options] section.
• Although the [DEFAULT] section is not shown, the entries specified in it are reflected in our proxy definition.
