The
mailestctl program controls the
mailestd(8) daemon. To use
the
mailest for the search backend for the
Mew program, see the
EXAMPLE section in
mew-mailest(1).
The options are as follows:
-
-
-S
suffix- The suffix of the mail files instead of the default
.mew. This option is only used only
when the
mailestctl invoking
mailestd(8) to pass
the suffix configuration. This option exists to keep the compatibility
with the existing “mewest”, and it doesn't change the suffix
configuration of the running
mailestd(8). See the
mailestd.conf(5)
to configure in proper way.
-
-
-s
socket- Use the socket instead of the default
(maildir)/.mailest.sock to comunicate
with mailestd(8).
-
-
-m
maildir- The base directory of the mail folders instead of the default
${HOME}/Mail.
-
-
-h- Show the usage.
The following commands are available:
-
-
start- Start the mailestd(8)
daemon.
-
-
stop- Stop the running
mailestd(8)
daemon.
-
-
restart- Restart the
mailestd(8)
daemon.
-
-
message-id
message-id- Search the indexes by the
message-id.
-
-
parent-id
message-id- Search the indexes by the parent message's
message-id.
-
-
csearch
[-vu]
[-max
max]
[-ord
ord]
[-ic ic]
[-attr
attr] phrase- Search the indexes of the mail messages in
estcmd(1) compatible
arguments. This command is used by “Mew” though the wrapper
program
mew-mailest(1) to
search the file names which include the given
phrase. Specify
-vu always since the other output
options are not avaiable. The
mailestd(8) daemon
will start automatically if it's not running.
-
-
update
[folder]- Start the indexes of the messages. If the
folder is specified, the indexing is done
in the specified folder, otherwise index all folders following the
configuration of
mailestd(8). A shell
globing pattern (like “openbsd-*”) is usable for the
folder. The
mailestd(8) daemon
will start automatically if it's not running.
-
-
guess- Guess parant-id again. Guessing parent-id might have failed if the parent
appears after the guess. This command is useful for such the
situation.
-
-
suspend- Suspend the indexing.
-
-
resume- Resume the indexing.
-
-
debug- Increase the debug level of the
mailestd(8)
daemon.
-
-
--
-debug- Decrease the debug level of the
mailestd(8) daemon.
“
--” is needed to
speparate this command from treating as the
mailestctl program's option.
- ${HOME}/Mail
- Default maildir.
- (maildir)/.mailest.sock
- UNIX-domain socket used for communication with
mailestd(8)
mailestd(8),
mew-mailest(1)
