I was wondering is there a way for SCP to shorten the timeout to fail when it attempts to connect a host that is down. Seems like it takes about a minute or so for scp to timeout. This is on a AIX 5.3 box.
I saw someone suggest use -o ConnectTimeout but the scp I use doesn't have that... (1 Reply)

doveadm-kick
DOVEADM-KICK(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-KICK(1)
NAME
doveadm-kick - Disconnect users by user name and/or IP address
SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] kick [ -a anvil_socket_path] [-f] user
doveadm [-Dv] kick [ -a anvil_socket_path] [-f] ip[/mask]
doveadm [-Dv] kick [ -a anvil_socket_path] [-f] user ip[/mask]
DESCRIPTION
doveadm's kick command is used to disconnect users by user name and/or the ip address, from which they are connected.
In the first form, all users, whose login name matches the user argument, will be disconnected.
In the second form, all users, connected from the given IP address or network range, will be disconnected.
In the last form, only users connected from the given IP address or networks range and a matching login name will be disconnected.
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-v Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
Command specific options:
-a anvil_socket_path
This option is used to specify an absolute path to an alternative UNIX domain socket.
By default doveadm(1) will use the socket /var/run/dovecot/anvil. The socket may be located in another directory, when the default
base_dir setting was overridden in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.
-f Enforce the disconnect, even when there are multiple users, from different networks, connected to a single process. This option may
be only required when you have configured something like:
service imap {
...
client_limit = 1+n
service_count = 0
...
}
ARGUMENTS
ip[/mask]
ip or ip/mask is the host or network, from which the users are connected.
user Is a user's login name. Depending on the configuration, a login name may be for example jane or john@example.com. It's also possi-
ble to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
EXAMPLE
If you don't want to disconnect all users at once, you can check who's currently logged in. The first example demonstrates how to discon-
nect all users whose login name is 3 characters long and begins with ba.
doveadm who -1 ja*
username proto pid ip
jane imap 8192 ::1
james imap 8203 2001:db8:543:2::1
doveadm kick ba?
kicked connections from the following users:
bar baz
The next example shows how to kick user foo's connections from 192.0.2.*.
doveadm who -1 foo
username proto pid ip
foo imap 8135 fd95:4eed:38ba::25
foo imap 9112 192.0.2.53
foo imap 8216 192.0.2.111
doveadm kick foo 192.0.2.0/24
kicked connections from the following users:
foo
doveadm who f*
username # proto (pids) (ips)
foo 1 imap (8135) (fd95:4eed:38ba::25)
