postkick(1)


NAME

   postkick - kick a Postfix service

SYNOPSIS

   postkick [-c config_dir] [-v] class service request

DESCRIPTION

   The  postkick(1)  command sends request to the specified service over a
   local transport  channel.   This  command  makes  Postfix  private  IPC
   accessible for use in, for example, shell scripts.

   Options:

   -c config_dir
          Read  the  main.cf  configuration  file  in  the named directory
          instead of the default configuration directory.

   -v     Enable verbose  logging  for  debugging  purposes.  Multiple  -v
          options make the software increasingly verbose.

   Arguments:

   class  Name  of  a  class  of local transport channel endpoints, either
          public (accessible by any local user) or private (administrative
          access only).

   service
          The name of a local transport endpoint within the named class.

   request
          A string. The list of valid requests is service-specific.
