ptexpire — Cyrus IMAP 3.12.1 documentation

# ptexpire

Program to expire pts cache DB entries on command.

## Synopsis

    ptexpire [-C filename] [-E seconds] [ username ...]

## Description

The ptexpire program sweeps the `ptscache_db` database, deleting entries older than the expiry duration, which defaults to 5400 seconds (3 hours). The expiry duration can be changed with the -E option.

Alternatively, if it's passed a list of usernames it deletes just those usernames, immediately.

ptexpire reads its configuration options out of the 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).

-E seconds, --expire-duration=seconds

  Set the expiry duration to seconds.

## Files

/etc/imapd.conf
