During rolling replication, at a point at which it would be safe to exit, sync_client will check for the existence of the specified sync_shutdown_file (or -F shutdown-file). If it exists, sync_client will remove the file and exit. The file does not need to contain any contents, and could simply be created with 'touch <sync_shutdown_file>'. There is no default location for the file, and one would need to be specified in imapd.conf before executing rolling replication, or as a command line option (-F) to sync_client for it to be searched for. It should have proper permissions to allow sync_client to remove it on exit, or it might fail to start again until it's manually removed. The manpage for imapd.conf says: ... Prefix with a channel name to only apply for that channel But it's not clear to me what that means. -- Dan White ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
