NAME

pksdctl - OpenPGP Public Key Server Control program

SYNOPSIS

pksdctl socket string

DESCRIPTION

pksdctl sends strings to a running pksd via a UNIX domain socket. The strings (which must be a single argument in the shell) are interpreted by the running pksd process as commands. Three string forms are supported:

backup

The backup command from previous versions is no longer supported. The procedures referred to in pks-intro(8) should be followed to make a backup.

disable userid

All keys matching the userid will have the disabled flag set.

mail msg

The file msg will be parsed as a mail server request. If the file is a valid request, the request succeeds, and the response can be enqueued, then the file is removed.

shutdown

The key server shuts down cleanly and exits.
