cyr_info is a tool for getting information from Cyrus. The intent is to extend this tool with useful commands to make managing and configuring Cyrus easier.

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

cyr_info provides the following sub-commands:

Print the configuration options which have been set to a value other than their default, and their value.

With -s version, configuration options whose behaviour has changed since version will be highlighted.


conf-all
Print ALL configuration options and their configured values (including those using their default value). This command shows which options will be in effect at runtime.

With -s version, configuration options which have been added or whose behaviour has changed since version will be highlighted.


conf-default
Print the default values for all available configuration options.

With -s version, configuration options which have been added or whose behaviour has changed since version will be highlighted.


conf-lint
Print only configuration options which are NOT recognised. This command should not print anything. It uses cyrus.conf to find the names of configured services to avoid displaying any known configuration options for the named service.

Print all currently connected processes in the proc directory

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

Read service specifications from config-file (cyrus.conf format).

Read the configuration as if for the service named name.

Highlight configuration options that have been added or whose behaviour has been modified since version. Use this option after a server upgrade, specifying your previous version, to find which options you need to review and maybe change before starting up the upgraded server.

For use with the conf, conf-all, and conf-default sub-commands.


cyr_info proc


List all the proc files and who they're logged in as.
