NAME

       ctl_cyrusdb - perform operations common to all Cyrus databases

SYNOPSIS

       ctl_cyrusdb [ -C config-file ] -r [ -x ]
       ctl_cyrusdb [ -C config-file ] -c

DESCRIPTION

       Ctl_cyrusdb is used to perform various administrative operations on the Cyrus databases.

       Ctl_cyrusdb  reads  its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by
       -C.  The configdirectory option is used to determine the default location of the Cyrus databases.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Read configuration options from config-file.

       -r     Recover the databases after an application or system failure.  Also performs database cleanup like
              removing mailbox reservations (and any associated mailbox files).

              All mailbox files are also checked to make sure the file format matches  the  configured  database
              type  in  imapd.conf.   If  not,  the  file  is  automatically  converted  using the same logic as
              cvt_cyrusdb.

       -x     Used with -r to recover the database only.  (Prevents database cleanup).

       -c     Checkpoint and archive the databases.  Changes  to  the  database  which  are  part  of  committed
              transactions  are  written  to disk.  Also, a hot backup of the databases is made and inactive log
              files are removed.

FILES

       /etc/imapd.conf
