LCONSOLE(8)

NAME
lconsole - line based MTA console

SYNOPSIS
lconsole [-Q mta] [-u user] [-p passwd] [-b] [actions...]

DESCRIPTION
Lconsole is a simple interface to the qmgr providing low functionality but provides access to all the controlling and monitoring functions.

The options are:

-Q mta
    Connect to this mta by default on start up.

-u user
    Connect as this user to the mta, a password will be prompted for.

-p passwd
    Supply a password to connect to the mta. (This is not generally recommended)

-b  Run in batch mode (no prompting).

All other arguments on the command line are taken as an operation to perform. If no actions are supplied the lconsole takes commands from the standard input.

The possible commands are:

?	- provide help.
channel	- display channels or one channel.
clear	- clear the delay on a channel, mta or msg.
close	- close the association with a qmgr.
decrease	- decrease the number of runnable channels.
