Command-Line Arguments ---------------------- * -F Start dovecot as foreground process (otherwise: start as daemon) * -p Ask for private SSL key password * -a Dump configuration and exit * -n Dump all non-default configuration items and exit * -c <config-file> Use <config-file> as path to the configuration instead of the compiled-in default. The compiled-in default may be something like '/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf' (Debian), '/etc/dovecot.conf' (CentOS), or '/usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf'. The actual value on any given system can be discovered by looking at the first line of the output of 'dovecot -a'. * --version Print version and exit * --build-options Print build options and exit * --exec-mail <protocol> [<section>] Start protocol from section Synopsis -------- ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- dovecot [-F] [-c <config-file>] [-p] [--exec-mail <protocol> [<section>]] dovecot -a dovecot -n dovecot --version dovecot --build-options ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caveat ------ If --exec-mail is used, it must be the last argument on the command line, as <section> is an optional parameter, otherwise if no section is given but another parameter follows, this parameter is used as section.
