NAME
ckchan - channel status checker

SYNOPSIS
ckchan [-s] [-v] [all | channelname...]

DESCRIPTION
The ckchan tool outputs information on the status of the specified channels. Because it reads from the restricted access spool area, ckchan can only be run by privileged users. If the key word all appears on the command line, ckchan output information on all active channels.

ckchan behaviour is effect by the following flags

-v  This flag prompts ckchan to output a verbose form of information. By default, the information consists of a summary of the mtas that are queued on each channel. The verbose output consists of detailed information about all the messages queued on each channel.

-s  Give a short summary of the queue.

BUGS
ckchan interrogates the model of the mail queue stored on disc. For this reason, ckchan must be run on a file system which has access to the relevant disc partitions.
