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
