Examples of launching programs from an stunnel daemon

Examples:

-l /usr/sbin/ipop3d

Run the ipop3d (POP3 daemon).

-l /usr/sbin/swat -- swat -s /etc/smb.conf

Run the swat (Samba Web Administration Tool)

Here you see an example where the program you are running (swat) takes additional arguments, here the -s /etc/smb.conf. Note that you first supply the full path to the program /usr/sbin/swat followed by two dashes, followed by the program name (argv[0] or $0 for you C and perl programmers, respectively) and then the arguments.

When using this form (the one with the double dash) make sure the -l argument is your last stunnel argument on the command line (or in the inetd.conf file).
