mkimap¶
A (small) Perl script to aid in creating spool and configuration directories for Cyrus IMAP installations.
Synopsis¶
mkimap config-file
Description¶
The mkimap script reads in the configuration file specified on the
command-line or uses /etc/imapd.conf to determine a list of
directories that Cyrus IMAP would need to operate.
Among these directories are:
the
configdirectory(from imapd.conf(5))the
partition-$namedirectories (from imapd.conf(5))the
meta-partition-$namedirectories (from imapd.conf(5))
Note
This utility needs to be executed as the user cyrus (or the user
you run the Cyrus IMAP service as).
Options¶
-
config-file¶ Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).
Examples¶
mkimap /etc/imapd.conf
Create necessary directories based on settings in /etc/imapd.conf.
reading configure file /etc/imapd.conf...
I will configure directory /var/lib/imap.
