NAME

chk_cyrus − Cyrus IMAP documentation

Perform a consistency check of the Cyrus IMAP mail spool.

SYNOPSIS

chk_cyrus [ −C config−file ] [ −P partition | −M mailbox ]

DESCRIPTION

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/Trash@example.org, you will want to specify example.org!user.john.Trash.

EXAMPLES

chk_cyrus −P default
Perform consistency checks on default partition.

chk_cyrus −C /usr/local/etc/imapd−slot1.conf −P default
Perform consistency checks on default partition using specified configuration file.

chk_cyrus −M user.marysmith
Perform consistency checks on mailbox user.marysmith.
