NAME

       chk_cyrus - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       Perform a consistency check of the Cyrus IMAP mail spool.

SYNOPSIS

       chk_cyrus [ -C config-file ] [ -P partition | -M mailbox ]

DESCRIPTION

       chk_cyrus is used to perform a consistency check on the cyrus datastore, and output a list
       of files/directories that are expected to exist, but do not.  Status messages  are  output
       to  stderr, the list of files/directories is output to stdout.  This list can be passed to
       a backup program to aid a partial restoration, for instance.

       chk_cyrus reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file  unless  specified
       otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Use   the   specified  configuration  file  config-file  rather  than  the  default
              imapd.conf(5).

       -P partition
              Limit to partition partition.  May not be specified with -M.

       -M mailbox
              Only check mailbox mailbox.  May not be specified with -P.

              IMPORTANT:
                 The mailbox must be specified in the internal format, so rather than  specifying
                 user/john/Trash@example.org,       you       will      want      to      specify
                 example.org!user.john.Trash.

EXAMPLES

       chk_cyrus -P default
          Perform consistency checks on default partition.

       chk_cyrus -C /usr/local/etc/imapd-slot1.conf -P default
          Perform consistency checks on default partition using specified configuration file.

       chk_cyrus -M user.marysmith
          Perform consistency checks on mailbox user.marysmith.
