Name

msgserviceaction — control Messaging Server system services

Synopsis

/opt/lsb-caldera.com-volution/msg/bin/msgserviceaction service action

Description

The msgserviceaction utility is a Perl script that performs specified actions on Messaging Server system services: LDAP, Postfix, Cyrus, DocView . Actions can only be taken on one service at a time, and each service supports different action options. Only the Messaging Server admin user can use the msgserviceaction tool.

Messaging Server system services can also be controlled with the Server Manager in the System menu under Mail Services; this is the recommended method.

Note

The msgserviceaction tool is a back-end utility for the Server Manager, and is not intended to be used at the command line. If you need to start and stop Messaging Server services from the command line, use the init scripts for the individual services as noted under Files below.

The following services and actions are supported:

--service=ldap --action=restart

Restart (stop, then start) the LDAP directory server. Stopping the LDAP server stops the Messaging Server.

--service=postfix --action=[start | stop | restart | reload]

Start, stop, restart, or reload configuration files for the Postfix MTA (Mail Transfer Agent).

--service=cyrus --action=[start | stop | restart]

Start, stop or restart the Cyrus IMAP server.

--service=docview --action=[start | stop | restart | reload]

Start, stop, restart, or reload configuration files for the DocView on-line documentation server.
