cyrus-chk_cyrus8
Cyrus imap documentation perform a consistency check of the cyrus imap mail spool.
Usage
chk_cyrus[-Cconfig-file] [-Ppartition|-Mmailbox]
Overview
chk_cyrus is used to perform a consistency check on the cyrus datastore, and output a list of files/directories that are expected to exist, but do not. Status messages are output to stderr, the list of files/directories is output to stdout. This list can be passed to a backup program to aid a partial restoration, for instance.
chk_cyrus reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
Options
-
-C config-file -
Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).
-
-P partition, --partition=partition -
Limit to partition partition. May not be specified with
-M.
-
-M mailbox, --mailbox=mailbox -
Only check mailbox mailbox. May not be specified with
-P.IMPORTANT:
The mailbox must be specified in the internal format, so rather than specifying
user/john/[email protected], you will want to specifyexample.org!user.john.Trash.
Examples
chk_cyrus -P default
Perform consistency checks on default partition.
chk_cyrus -C/usr/local/etc/imapd-slot1.conf-Pdefault
Perform consistency checks on default partition using specified configuration file.
chk_cyrus -M user.marysmith
