SYNC_RESET(8)

NAME
sync_reset - Cyrus IMAP documentation

Account reset utility. DANGER.

SYNOPSIS

    sync_reset [ -C config-file ] [ -v ] [ -f ]

DESCRIPTION

sync_reset is a small utility program to destroy user accounts on a system. The only safeguard which is in place is the obligatory force option.

sync_reset reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) <#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5> file unless specified otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

-C config-file
    Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5) <#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5>.

-v, --verbose
    Verbose mode.

-f, --force
    Force operation. Without this flag sync_reset just bails out with an error. Principally here to try and prevent accidents with command autorepeat.

FILES

/etc/imapd.conf
