PKSDCTL(8)

NAME
pksdctl - Public Key Server Control program

SYNOPSIS
pksdctl socket string

DESCRIPTION
pksdctl sends strings to a running pksd via a unix domain socket. The strings (which must be a single argument in the shell) are interpreted by the pksd as commands. Three string forms are supported:

mail msg
    The file msg will be parsed as a mail server request. If the file is a valid request, the request succeeds, and the response can be enqueued, then the file is removed.

disable userid
    All keys matching the userid have the disabled flag set.

shutdown
    The key server shuts down cleanly and exits. The backup command from previous versions is no longer supported. The procedures referred to in pks-intro(8) should be followed to make a backup.
