Usage

citserver [-lLogFacility] [-d] [-f] [-D] [-tTraceFile] [-xLogLevel] [-hHomeDir]

Overview

Citadel (the binary name is citserver) is the core of the Citadel Suite. It provides Data-storage and Connection-oriented protocols like IMAP/POP/SMTP. Citserver will usualy be spawned via /etc/init.d or inittab. Unless using the -h option you shouldn't run several instances at once. .SH OPTIONS

SwitchResult

-l: Log facility. Usually "mail"

-d: daemonize (detach from controlling terminal)

-D: print the directories the server would access to stderr on startup

-t[TraceFile]: Send log messages to a file instead of syslog

-x[LogLevel]: Verbosity level of logging (0 to 9)

-h[HomeDir]: Data directory for this Citadel installation. If the directory name begins with a forward slash, it is an absolute path; otherwise it is relative to the default. Watch the output of -D to observe the effects.
