NAME
       master - master Cyrus process

SYNOPSIS
       master  [  -C  alternate	 imapd.conf ] [ -M alternate cyrus.conf ] [ -l
       listen queue ] [ -p pidfile ] [ -P snmp agentx ping  interval  ]	 [  -j
       janitor period ] [ -d ] [ -D ] [ -x snmp agentx socket ]

DESCRIPTION
       Master  is  the	process that controls all of the Cyrus processes. This
       process is responsible for creating all imapd, pop3d, lmtpd and	sieved
       child processes. This process also initializes the Berkeley DB code and
       performs scheduled cleanup/maintenance.

       If this process dies, then no new sessions will be started.

       It kills itself and all child processes when it receives a SIGTERM.

OPTIONS
       -C alternate imapd.conf
	      Specifies an alternate imapd.conf for use by master  (note  that
	      this  will  not  affect any sub-processes spawned by master, you
	      should specify those specifically in the respective  entries  in
	      cyrus.conf).

       -M alternate cyrus.conf
	      Specifies an alternate cyrus.conf for use by master.

       -l listen queue backlog
	      Increase	the listen queue backlog. By default, the listen queue
	      is set to 32.   On systems with a high connection rate,  it  may
	      be  desirable  to	 increase  this	 value. refer to listen(2) for
	      details.

       -j janitor full-sweeps per second
	      Sets the amount of times per second the janitor should sweep the
	      entire  child  table.   Leave  it at the default of 1 unless you
	      have a really high fork rate (and you  have  not	increased  the
	      child  hash  table size when you compiled Cyrus from its default
	      of 10000 entries).

       -p pidfile
	      Use pidfile as the  pidfile.   If	 not  specified,  defaults  to
	      /var/run/cyrus-master.pid

       -P snmp agentx ping interval
	      Sets  the	 amount	 on  time in seconds the subagent will try and
	      reconnect to the master agent (snmpd) if	it  ever  becomes  (or
	      starts) disconnected.  Requires net-snmp 5.0 or higher.

       -d     Start in daemon mode (run in background and disconnect from con‐
	      trolling terminal).

       -D     Don't close stdin/stdout/stderr. Primiarly useful for debugging.

       -x snmp agentx socket
	      Address  the  master  agent  (most  likely  snmpd)  listens  on.
	      Requires net-snmp 5.0 or higher.

CONFIGURATION
       Upon  execution,	 master reads its configuration information out of the
       cyrus.conf(5) file.

       Master rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal,
       SIGHUP.	Services and events may be added, deleted or modified when the
       configuration file is reread.  Any active  services  removed  from  the
       configuration file will be allowed to run until completion.

NOTES
       The  environment	 variable  CYRUS_VERBOSE  can be set to log additional
       debugging information. Setting the value to 1  results  in  base	 level
       logging.	  Setting  it higher results in more log messages being gener‐
       ated.

FILES
       /etc/cyrus.conf, /etc/imapd.conf, /var/run/cyrus-master.pid
