qconfirm-cdb-update - maintain a constant database for the use with qconfirm-cdb-check(1)
qconfirm-cdb-update [-vrf] [-c cdb] [-t sec] [-m min] [-l limit] [-s state]
qconfirm-cdb-check conditionally transfers known envelope sender
address ids from the qconfirm directory into the constant database cdb.
By default, qconfirm-cdb-update scans the directory ~/.qconfirm/ok for empty
files created by qconfirm-check(1). It ignores file names starting with a
dot, and files without the user’s write permission set. If qconfirm-cdb-update
finds a minimum number of new files, it adds the corresponding ids to the
constant database ~/.qconfirm/ok.cdb, and removes the files.
While manipulating
~/.qconfirm/ok.cdb, qconfirm-cdb-update removes ids with time-stamps that are
more than sec seconds older than the current time.
- -c cdb
- The filename
of the constant database to be updated. Default is ‘‘ok.cdb’’ (in the qconfirm
directory). This option also overrides the environment variable QCONFIRM_OKCDB,
and the configuration file QCONFIRM_OKCDB. Note: If qconfirm-cdb-check updates
cdb, it creates cdb.tmp as temporary file. If cdb.tmp exists, it will be destroyed.
- -t sec
- Set the timeout for removing ids from the constant database to sec
seconds. Default is 15724786. If sec is 0, qconfirm-cdb-update does not remove
any ids from cdb.
- -m min
- Set the minimum number of new id files to be added
to the constant database to min. Default is 100. If min is 0, qconfirm-cdb-update
always updates cdb.
- -l limit
- Set the maximum number of new ids to be added
to the constant database to limit. limit must be between 1 and 1000. Default
is 300.
- -s state
- The directory to be scanned for new ids. Default is ‘‘ok’’ (in
the qconfirm directory).
- -r
- remove. Remove id files from the qconfirm directory
that are also in cdb. Normally qconfirm-cdb-update ignores these files.
- -f
- force.
Process all id files in the qconfirm directory. Normally qconfirm-cdb-update
skips id files that were added or modified within the last 24 hours. Note
that using this option may prevent currently pending ids from be confirmed
manually under certain conditions.
- -v
- verbose. Print verbose messages to standard
output.
qconfirm-cdb-update reads its configuration from files
in the subdirectory conf/ of the qconfirm directory (normally ‘‘~/.qconfirm/conf/’’).
Only the first line of a configuration file is considered.
- QCONFIRM_OKCDB
- The configuration file QCONFIRM_OKCDB overrides the default name of the
user’s constant database for known ids (‘‘ok.cdb’’).
- QCONFIRM_DIR
- The
environment variable QCONFIRM_DIR overrides the default location of the
user’s qconfirm directory (‘‘.qconfirm’’).
- QCONFIRM_OKCDB
- The environment variable
QCONFIRM_OKCDB overrides the default name of the user’s constant database
for known ids (‘‘ok.cdb’’), and the configuration file QCONFIRM_OKCDB.
