Starting privoxy

Now privoxy proxy server is installed and became a service in our system. To run privoxy, we do the same as with every other service, we use sv command:

$ sudo sv up privoxy

Stopping privoxy

$ sudo sv down privoxy

Checking status

In case you don't know if privoxy is running or not, get status:

$ sudo sv status privoxy

Restarting privoxy

In case you don't know if privoxy is running or not, get status:

$ sudo sv restart privoxy

Troubleshooting:  Error: "unable to change to service directory: file does not exist"

In case you have this type of error:

fail: privoxy: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist

It means that when Runit service management starts, it looks for a service in /var/service, but doesn't find it. You can solve this problem with making syslink:

$ ln -s /etc/sv/privoxy /var/service
