exim_lock
EXIM_LOCK(8) System Manager's Manual EXIM_LOCK(8)NAME
exim_lock - Mailbox maintenance
SYNOPSIS
exim_lock [options]mailbox-file
DESCRIPTION
The exim_lock utility locks a mailbox file using the same algorithm as Exim. For a discussion of locking issues, see section 25.2.
exim_lock can be used to prevent any modification of a mailbox by Exim or a user agent while investigating a problem. The utility requires
the name of the file as its first argument. If the locking is successful, the second argument is run as a command (using C's "system()"
function); if there is no second argument, the value of the SHELL environment variable is used; if this is unset or empty, /bin/sh is run.
When the command finishes, the mailbox is unlocked and the utility ends. The following options are available:
-fcntl Use "fcntl()" locking on the open mailbox.
-interval
This must be followed by a number, which is a number of seconds; it sets the interval to sleep between retries (default 3).
-lockfile
Create a lock file before opening the mailbox.
-mbx Lock the mailbox using MBX rules.
-q Suppress verification output.
-retries
This must be followed by a number; it sets the number of times to try to get the lock (default 10).
-timeout
This must be followed by a number, which is a number of seconds; it sets a timeout to be used with a blocking "fcntl()" lock. If it
is not set (the default), a non-blocking call is used.
-v Generate verbose output.
If none of -fcntl, -lockfile or -mbx are given, the default is to create a lock file and also use "fcntl()" locking on the mailbox,
which is the same as Exim's default. The use of -fcntl requires that the file be writable; the use of -lockfile requires that the
directory containing the file be writable. Locking by lock file does not last for ever; Exim assumes that a lock file is expired if
it is more than 30 minutes old.
The -mbx option is mutually exclusive with -fcntl. It causes a shared lock to be taken out on the open mailbox, and an exclusive
lock on the file /tmp/.n.m where n and m are the device number and inode number of the mailbox file. When the locking is released,
if an exclusive lock can be obtained for the mailbox, the file in /tmp is deleted.
The default output contains verification of the locking that takes place. The -v option causes some additional information to be
given. The -q option suppresses all output except error messages.
A command such as
exim_lock /var/spool/mail/spqr
runs an interactive shell while the file is locked, whereas
exim_lock -q /var/spool/mail/spqr <<End
<some commands>
End
runs a specific non-interactive sequence of commands while the file is locked, suppressing all verification output. A single command can
be run by a command such as
exim_lock -q /var/spool/mail/spqr "cp /var/spool/mail/spqr /some/where"
Note that if a command is supplied, it must be entirely contained within the second argument - hence the quotes.
