Sahi uses a HTTP proxy to inject javascript into webpages. The injected scripts then use code to identify DOM elements and simulate actions like click, hover etc.
The proxy server is running on a port (9999) and host(localhost). Your browser's proxy settings should be configured to listen at this port for the javascript to be injected. This is how Sahi works.
Keeping this in mind, the command will tell Sahi to launch a pre-configured browser with these proxy settings and execute a sahi script specified.
