qconfirm-cdb-check(1)SYNOPSISqconfirm-cdb-update [-vrf] [-c cdb] [-t sec] [-m min] [-l limit] [-s
state]
DESCRIPTION
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 start‐
ing 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.
OPTIONS-c cdb The filename of the constant database to be updated. Default is
``ok.cdb'' (in the qconfirm directory). This option also over‐
rides the environment variable QCONFIRM_OKCDB, and the configu‐
ration 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 con‐
stant 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. Nor‐
mally qconfirm-cdb-update skips id files that were added or mod‐
ified 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.
CONFIGURATIONqconfirm-cdb-update reads its configuration from files in the subdirec‐
tory 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'').
ENVIRONMENT
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.
