6.1. Managing the Proxy Service

Since the RHN Proxy Server consists of a multitude of individual components, Red Hat provides a master service that allows you to stop, start, or retrieve status from the various services in the appropriate order: rhn-proxy. This helper service accepts all of the typical commands:

service rhn-proxy start
service rhn-proxy stop
service rhn-proxy restart
service rhn-proxy status

Use the rhn-proxy service to shut down and bring up the entire RHN Satellite Server and retrieve status messages from all of its services at once.
