# kopano-srvadm(8)

server management utility

## Name

kopano-srvadm — server management utility

## Synopsis

**kopano-srvadm** \[**-c** *config*\] \[**-h** *host*\] {**--clear-cache** *type*\|**--purge-deferred**\|**--purge-softdelete** *days*}

## Description

This tool is used to control certain aspects of the Kopano server, specifically internal state.

## Options

- **-c** *config-file*

  Location of a config file to read.

Default: */etc/kopano/admin.cfg*

- **-h** *host*

  URI for a specific server to connect to and execute the action on.

Default: *default:*

- **--clear-cache** *pool*\[**,***pool*...\]

  Flushes one or more of the server's cache pools. The argument shall be a comma-separated list of pool names, which can be: **quota**, **quotadefault**, **object**, **store**, **acl**, **cell**, **index1**, **index2**, **indexedproperty**, **userobject**, **externid**, **userdetail**, **server**, or the magic value **all**. Although this operation never causes any data loss, it can affect the performance of the server, since any data requested after the cache has been cleared needs to be re-requested from the database or LDAP server. Normally, this option is never needed; it is mostly used as a diagnostic.

- **--purge-deferred**

  The server has an optimization in which changes to the "tproperties" table are not writted directly, but delayed for a more efficient write at a later time. The server auto-purges these regularly. This command allows you to manually start a purge of all pending changes. It may be useful to run this during low I/O load of your server, e.g. at night.

- **--purge-softdelete** *days*

  Starts a softdelete purge on the server, removing all soft-deleted items which have been deleted and which are older than the specified number of days.
